- In pandas you merge a bookings DataFrame (one row per booking) with a customer DataFrame on customerid. The result has more rows than bookings, and some bookings have no customer attributes.mid8 min
- A colleague computes average load factor per market in pandas with df.groupby("market")["loadfactor"].mean() and reports it as "market load factor". Some rows have a missing market.mid8 min
- A dashboard shows the cancellation rate by fare class from a table bookings(bookingid, fareclass, status).mid8 min
