This is pretty much the case. It was a quickly needed report of data from our ERP system and dumped into an excel sheet to use. I had not used Pandas before but seemed like a good fit for me t build this out. The people who needed this info were not very sure about what they needed, so being un-DRY is better. This is only a maybe 2 page Jupyter sheet. So it's not a huge deal.

In any case, DRY is just an optimization theme. And optimizing for understanding/intent is a higher priority for me. Sometimes they intersect, sometimes not.
