I make a million spreadsheets for my personal life (weekly planner and goals tracking) with custom formulas and conditional formatting (including auto conditional formatting for my spend line if the cell value is more than the expected daily value), and it auto highlights cells that are weekends based on today’s date so if I create a new tab for a new month I don’t have to do anything else manually formatting-wise (it’s a beauty and i don’t know who else will appreciate it lol)
Also made an excel tracker and dashboard to track my monthly income / spend, with custom formulas to track remaining $/day , remaining % of budget, etc.

I have a raspberry pi hooked up to a sensor that reads my water meter (it’s in the basement due to cold climate) based on a trained ML model. Set up a pipeline to access the data in the cloud, got a local streamlit dashboard running that I use to see usage. Need to set up pub/sub messaging for it so I get alerts 🤣
