Using V-Lookup in Python to Identify Deleted Customers
In this tutorial, I’ll demonstrate how to merge two datasets in a manner similar to V-Lookup. We’ll examine a sample dataset to determine if any invoices have been paid to customers who are no longer present in the customer table. This could potentially signal fraudulent activity.

That sounds like a very interesting lesson! Using a V-Lookup style approach in Python to analyze datasets can certainly help identify potential issues like invoices being paid to deleted customers. This can be crucial for detecting possible fraud, as you mentioned.
For those familiar with Excel functions, transitioning to using libraries like pandas in Python for data manipulation is definitely powerful. I’m looking forward to seeing your example dataset and the specific methods you use for the analysis.
Do you plan to provide code snippets for the V-Lookup equivalent in Python? It would be really helpful to see how you handle merging the datasets and the checks for deleted customers. Thanks for sharing this!
