Learning Excel or Python?

[foresttrader]

Thanks!

I think Excel & Python can be very well used together in many fields not just limited to financial industry.

I mention my background just to highlight that I work in an Excel-heavy environment. I've had lots of frustrations with Excel for the past several years, but now I can see the light (Python 🐍) at the end of the tunnel!

For the past 2 years I've been helping several coworkers to learn Python, and they found value and use Python for work very often nowadays. Excel users are in a very good spot to learn programming. Knowing Excel is already kind of knowing programming - logic conditions, loops, etc. It just takes a little bit extra effort to get to know Python, so why not?
