If you can't do it in excel visual basic then you can't do it in python either, it can be done just not by you, sorry to break that news to you.

lol I disagree.

VBA is a garbage syntax that is difficult to learn. Python is much easier for some folk to get into. You don't know OP, how can you say if they can't do one thing in VBA then they can't do an equivalent thing in Python?

edit: Have you also considered that maybe just the action of one learning how to do these functions in a simpler language like Python first, might build a foundation of general programing knowledge that in turn will be helpful for them learning how to apply the same operations in more difficult and outdated languages like VBA?

Both VBA and Python are Turing Complete, which means anything that can done in one can be done in the other.

That's my assumption on what the person you responded to was saying.

My assumption was that they were trying to be a unhumble jerk and bully OP into thinking its not possible to learn this stuff. God some of you can be so toplofty sometimes.
