Session Goal
The goal of this session was to develop a structured Excel template to facilitate accounting control, incorporating automation features and data integration capabilities.
Key Activities
- Excel Structure Proposal: A detailed proposal was created for an Excel file to manage accounting control, including sheets for transactions, monthly totals, and reconciliation. Methods for importing data from the web were also proposed.
- Pandas DataFrame Construction: Demonstrated how to construct a DataFrame using pandas, reorder columns, convert date formats, and export it to Excel, enhancing data manipulation and export processes.
- Movements Sheet Generation: Created a ‘Movements’ sheet with concatenated debit/credit rows and a ‘Period’ column for easy filtering or pivoting. Options for adding monthly totals or additional accounting formulas were provided.
- CSV Data Integration: Provided CSV formatted financial data for integration into Excel, with options for appending to existing sheets or creating separate files. Data blocks for 2022 and 2023 were included, with a suggestion to compile data from 2022 to 2025 into a single Excel file.
