Under the wave of the information innovation era, I, a small staff member of the financial management department of a provincial branch of a state-owned bank, have experienced a journey of technological innovation that keeps pace with the times. From clunky Excel and VBA to flexible and powerful Python, my story is not only about the transformation of technology, but also a journey of exploration and self-transcendence.
Problem: Limitations of VBA ScriptsIn the past, VBA was my good partner and helped me deal with the daily financial data of the bank, but as the work deepened, I encountered a big problem - VBA scripts could not be run on Linux hosts! This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for me who pursues efficiency and precision. Driven by this information innovation policy, the banking system is increasingly adopting the Linux system, and my VBA skills seem to have become "obsolete" overnight.
Turnaround: The rise of pythonJust when I was about to give up, python came into my world like a ray of light. Python's cross-platform nature makes it easy to run on Linux, which gives me hope. I started teaching myself Python, and every step from the basic syntax to the data processing library pandas was challenging, but also fun.
Practice: Using Python to solve work problemsAlthough the self-learning process is difficult, the results are extremely rich. I first rewrote the previous VBA script in python, which not only successfully ran on linux, but also greatly improved efficiency. Next, I started experimenting with python for data cleansing, automating report generation, and even introducing machine learning algorithms for financial** analysis. Every time I successfully solve a problem, I double my love for python.
Sharing: Recording growth on BaijiaI decided to record this journey and share it with Baijiahao. In each post, I try my best to insert all kinds of charts, screenshots, and even my experience and difficulties in learning python. I hope my story inspires more people like me who are facing the challenges of technology transformation.
Conclusion: Embrace change and welcome the future Through my Baijia account, I hope to convey a message: in the era of information and innovation, technology is always changing, and it is never too late to learn. The transition from VBA to Python not only allowed me to achieve a qualitative leap in my work, but more importantly, it taught me to face challenges, have the courage to explore and embrace change.
In the new era of bank financial management, let's start a more intelligent and efficient financial management journey with python. Along the way, there may be setbacks, but more about growth and gain. Let's embrace python and embrace the future!
