Now that you have a CSV file, you can analyze it. It??™s possible to analyze the data file
directly in Ruby, but you might not want to write your own statistical code. Instead, you
can load the data into MySQL, and then use MySQL??™s built-in aggregation functions to
analyze it in detail.
Many companies use CSV files to transfer financial, inventory, and other data, so this
approach can work with data from organizations other than PayPal.
Reporting PayPal Expenses
Suppose you and a business partner share a PayPal business account, and you have a disagreement
about the dispensation of funds. Your partner claims that expenses are too
high, and that you routinely spend money from the business account on the weekends
when you are not working. Conversely, you claim that the expenses occur mostly during
the week, and that they are a necessary part of doing business. To see who is correct, you
want to create a program that analyzes the data from the PayPal account and produces a
report on when expenses occur.
