Creating Dynamic TTM Reports in Excel
In this post, I’m sharing a method to create various types of TTM reports including visualization using Excel. While there are various methods I have discovered, I believe my method presented here is fool-proof and also intuitive. It uses EOMONTH function for error-free calculation of each month’s end, and FILTER function to filter and fetch […]
Handy bespoke helper library you can use in your code
In this post, I’m sharing a script loaded with useful functions that you can use in your code with ease for performing a myriad of necessary and critical tasks without the need to write (and rewrite, test and retest) your code.

Reflecting on the tempestuous years spanning from 2022 to early 2025, the industry’s stalwarts, once revered as invincible […]
Getting Data From A Website Without A Developer API Key
It started with a simple quest: I wanted to look up a word and get its example usage in sentences, along with its meaning without having to search each time. I wanted to just type in a word, and get its basic meaning, and a few example sentences using my own app or script. Yes, […]
Interactive Color Mixing App And Explanation
In this post, I present an embedded Python app that takes two colors as inputs in html color convention (that uses Hexadecimal color codes), and produces a mixed color of the two. Furthermore, the user can also specify the mix proportion or the ratio of the first color to be mixed with the second color. […]
Zip Function in Python: How and Why
The zip() function in Python is very useful, versatile, and efficient for combining elements from multiple iterables (like lists or tuples) into pairs or tuples. No, it’s not the file zipping functions most are familiar with in Windows; despite the same name, it’s an entirely different function for different purposes. Here are some practical scenarios […]
