Project 4.2: Creating Reports

One easy way to share good-looking results is to use a Jupyter notebook’s Markdown cells to create a presentation. This chapter will create a “slide deck” that can be shared and presented. We can expand on this to create a PDF report using additional packages like Jupyter book or Quarto.

In this chapter, we’ll look at two important working results of data analysis:

  • Slide decks build directly from a Jupyter Lab notebook.

  • PDF reports built from notebook data and analysis.

This chapter’s project will upgrade an analysis notebook created in the previous chapter to create presentations that can be shared with colleagues. We’ll start by looking at the kinds of reports an analyst may need to produce.
