In this activity, you are tasked with creating a Python script for analyzing the financial records of your company. You will be provided with a financial dataset in this file: budget_data.csv. This dataset is composed of two columns, Date and Profit/Losses. (Thankfully, your company has rather lax standards for accounting, so the records are simple.)
Objectives:
-
The total number of months included in the dataset.
-
The net total amount of Profit/Losses over the entire period.
-
The average of the changes in Profit/Losses over the entire period.
-
The greatest increase in profits (date and amount) over the entire period.
-
The greatest decrease in losses (date and amount) over the entire period.
