微软 released Python in Excel, which is great news for data enthusiasts, and business executives and leaders. It's only in preview mode, but Microsoft is looking for feedback. If interested, you can join the Microsoft 365 Insider Program and opt for the Beta Channel Insider level.
What does this mean for data enthusiasts, professionals, researchers, etc.?
With Python in Excel, you can type Python code directly into your cells and let Microsoft's cloud handle all the heavy lifting. The results are then nicely laid out on your worksheet.?
Furthermore, Python in Excel also comes with many Anaconda Python libraries, making data analysis more accessible in many scenarios. You can easily spot patterns, uncover insights, and create data visualizations.

If you encounter any issues while using this new feature, apparently, you can contact Microsoft. Go to Help > Feedback within Excel and let them know (it will be interesting to see how responsive this experience will be for beta testers).
Why should business executives and leaders care?
The answer is simple: We need data to support our strategic plans and decisions. And that's where Python in Excel comes in. It's not just a tech feature—it's a game-changer. With Python in Excel, analysts can interpret and summarize those hard-to-read spreadsheets more efficiently and cleanly than ever before. And because data analysis can be performed directly in Excel, we can simplify the number of tools our teams use and get results faster. So, if you want to stay competitive in today's fast-paced business world, Python in Excel appears to be a must-have tool. Let's see how the beta tests go!
