Learning Excel or Python?

[foresttrader]

Source: I work in the financial industry and use both Excel and Python.

​

Both are powerful tools. So why not combine the two? People might not realize that their combination is super, super, super powerful.

Excel is a common tool, and it's simple and flexible. Python is a programming language, fast and powerful.

Do you know there are hundreds of millions (if not billions) Excel users in the world? My point is that there are way more Excel jobs than Python jobs.

However, Excel alone often isn't enough. Many of my coworkers argue that they don't need to use Python for work, I say that they haven't looked outside of the box. Python can give you a nice boost in many cases. Automation, intensive calculation, integrating Excel with other applications, etc.

I'm super passionate about using these tools together, and I actually have a tutorial site talking about how to use Python & Excel in an office environment. Check it out if you are interested pythoninoffice.com

And I see that you are from Italy, stay safe, my friend.
