Estimating reading time for any content (Python)

Decomposing data in PowerBI
A decomposition tree visual or a widget is very helpful in understanding cause and effect of data. It gives an easy-to-view insight to the underlying data. Suppose we have a fact table of raw data of products sold, revenue, place and time of sale, etc. etc. etc. Every month, year, product, country repeat as they […]
Music Mixing with Python
