# Automated Excel Reporting Tool
This project provides a solution to automate the process of generating reports from Excel data. It specifically targets the creation of pivot tables and bar charts, streamlining the workflow for analysis and presentation.
## Description
The `00_one_report.py` script is designed to take data from an Excel file, create a pivot table, and then generate a corresponding bar chart. This process, which typically requires manual effort in spreadsheet software, is automated to save time and reduce the potential for human error.
