As part of my self learning, I have been playing around with Python for few weeks now. So during the time of appraisal in my company, I decided to use it to quickly get a count of tasks done throughout the year.

As part of my work, I work on two applications I support and maintain one while simultaneously working on the second version of the product.

I keep track of the work done for both application in an excel sheet having details of the ticket number, task details, time taken to complete etc so that I can use it at the end of the year during appraisal discussion.

The file has a fixed format so it is easier to group tasks done month wise and application wise.
