Start coding below!

daily_sales_replaced = daily_sales.replace(‘;,;’, ‘+’)

daily_transactions = daily_sales_replaced.split(‘,’)
#print(daily_transactions)

daily_transactions_split =
for transaction in daily_transactions:
daily_transactions_split.append(transaction.split(‘+’))

#print(daily_transactions_split)

transactions_clean =
for item in daily_transactions_split:
transaction_clean =
for data_point in item:
transaction_clean.append(data_point.replace(‘\n’, ‘’).split())
transactions_clean.append(transaction_clean)

#print(transactions_clean)

customers =
sales =
thread_sold =

for transaction in transactions_clean:
customers.append(transaction[0])
sales.append(transaction[1])
thread_sold.append(transaction[2])

#print(customers)
print(sales)
#print(thread_sold)

total_sales = 0

I am working through this and the sales list is taking all the sales numbers and creating separate lists instead of one list. I have been following the video completely after struggling for some time, but it is still showing up this way and won’t let me add the sales list together for total_sales. Can anyone help with this?

Followed the video step by step yet my results don’t match up

[minoritypriority]

I’m Having the same issue as good buddy up top. I’m not sure how to describe the problem because I don’t even know what the issue is. I followed the video after I couldn’t figure it out on my own but even following the video didn’t work.

[minoritypriority]

Call me paranoid but why do I feel like… .mmm never mind I’ve restarted this project about 8 times now following the video and my solution never comes out the same as the video. Lowkey irritated Ima just check the boxes off though I guess.
