Course Description

Are you looking for a better solution than the one you’ve built in a spreadsheet? If so, then Python for Spreadsheet Users is a great introduction to the Python language, and will put you on the right path towards automating repetitive work, diving deeper into your data, and widening the scope of what you are capable of accomplishing. Throughout the course, we’ll draw parallels to common spreadsheet functions and techniques, so you’ll always have a familiar reference point as you dive head first into Python.

    Takes you through what you need to know, methodically.

    The course is very good for those people who are familiar with using Excel and need to understand what they do there to start doing it in Pandas. A course that I would have liked to take when I started working with Python.
