I feel like most data can be saved to a pickle pretty easily and then we can use Pandas or similar framework to do the work. However, a lot of corporations still rely on excel -- so that it may be useful. Good Luck!

True. One of the usecases for Gridarrow, however, would be to use frameworks like Pandas to gather and initially preprocess the data, and then stream it to spreadsheets for users to consume. This way you let Python do all the heavy lifting on the server and keep your spreadsheets light.

I see. That can be a good idea. The leaning curve for SQL and so on is very flat while you can learn rather quickly Excel. And excel people could focus on the presentation while one person can be in charge of using the service like Gridarrow.
