## Instruction

A production line in the factory streams real-time data through IoT sensors into the live\_sensor table of the machine\_operating dataset in BigQuery. The normal operating parameter ranges (minimum/maximum values) for each machine’s sensors are defined in a configuration file named machine\_operating\_parameters.xlsx. Please query the live\_sensor table in the machine\_operating dataset in BigQuery for sensor data between 11:30 and 12:30 on August 19, 2025, and, using the parameter ranges from the Excel file, identify all readings that fall outside their normal ranges (you may choose any efficient method for comparison). Compile the final anomaly report with the fields `timestamp`, `machine_id`, `sensor_type`, `reading`, (the format of these data should be exactly the same as in the BigQuery table) and `normal_range` (min - max)  into a file named "anomaly\_report.csv". Save the file in the workspace, and upload this file to the existing cloud storage bucket whose name starts with the prefix "iot\_anomaly\_reports" in your cloud space.
