Wow. 1. Cloud based only 1a. Slow 1b. Nothing is private 2. Subscription based pricing 3. Not the full power of Python ecosystem Python, running on your local machine and at full strength, can already get access to that local data and via installed libraries already do all of the data analysis and reporting. And more. At full strength. Locally. For free. Excel or Libreoffice. Microsoft is so lucky so many people are dependent on Excel, for whatever reasons. The only advantage to this is letting Microsoft deal with keeping Python and third-parties up to date with no version conflicts. That is certainly worth _something_ , but not even close to balancing out the negatives. Thank you for this great video! Excellent presentation. Subscribed.
Great analysis and honest feedback. The best (meaning, most useful, educational, and practical ) video tutorial on this topic I've seen so far...most videos are just marketing ra-ra hype and superficially simple use-case demonstrations with no insights. You can immediately tell, which posters have the analytical mindeset and who don't (posters become posers). Well done, and keep producing more about every topic, really. I subscribed for a reason ;)
Your videos are brilliant Chandoo. You take time to explain both the good and bad of any new introductions and agree that this adds new level of complexity above learning all the other features.
Thank you. I think you saved me a lot of time. I've been trying to decide on the right language to build myself some tools for work. I've been using Power Query M, but it hasn't been the right fit for the job. The tools need to be portable and M hasn't been great for that. The tools also need input from the user depending on what is in the data. There are several other challenges I found with using M for my tools. I know I could build my tools in VBA and it would resolve the challenges I faced in M, but I didn't want to build my tools in a dying language if there's a better new way. I thought Python in Excel might be the way or maybe the Javascript library, but ultimately it seems VBA will still be the answer (weather it's dying or not). Seeing this video was the tipping point on the decision. I'm glad I didn't put hours into exploring Python in Excel at this stage. Thanks again.
the good thing about python in excel is some complicated calculations can be done inside excel with the help of python. A lot of people still like the interface excel provides for data and visualization.
10:01 exactly. sorry Microsoft but I don’t see it either. I can do all of this with arrays, sequences and filters in lightening fast time without sharing my data with the internet . Only thing I was hoping for was some better loop functionality (with clear term break code), but I didn’t see it (though I gave up pretty early). Typescript doesn’t seem much better. I know vba is old news and a security nightmares but man it worked way better for things like this decades ago. Good video. Thanks
As someone who plays around with Python I was excited to see it coming to Excel. However, seeing the whole Microsoft Cloud requirement is a real disappointment. Having people temporarily without Internet access not able to look at their spreadsheets is unacceptable. It's frustrating when you consider that Python is free and you can run it on pretty much any platform, but Microsoft (of whom I am usually a big fan) have decide to implement it in a less than satisfactory way, just so that they can monetize it! You're the first person I have seen cover this topic and include the downsides. And for that, you have earnt a subscription! Thank you.
The key advantage for me as someone who switches between excel and Python/Pandas, is that sometimes I don't know where I want to go with my data. Being able to create intermediate dataframes and see them in excel, before having that lightbulb moment, is something that I struggle with when working in VSCode. Holding a many step dataframe sequence in your head as you work towards a solution is tough. This may be a good way to deal with that. I look forward to trying it out. Nice video.
Thanks Chandoo, I saw a few video's about the new Python, but you were also giving con's. That is very good! Sometimes we do not realize how much the scope of Excel has widened. see min 12.30. Very good video!!
Chandoo hope you are doing well. I just want to inform you that you are one the best teachers. Oh i almost forgot to mention that you are funny and that spices up.
Would be good to first being with a high level overview of what python is and the benefits of using it. This way it will make better sense for students to follow, rationalize, and understand the video.
I did not even adapted to office script because we want dynamic automation not absolute automation. So there will be some excel feature will be underutilized. Because I see people are still new to Power Query even after 12 years of implementation. But yeah I am happy that you started to lean python in very recent past.
absolutely two different things. python is for data science. vba can do wayyyy more things ( access to all office apps, can send email print things, use events etc) .
The marketing hype is too rose tinted. While this is an exciting turn of events, I am not sure it will catch on so wildly with the way they implemented it.
Hi sir do data analyst require knowledge of Linux will they ask any question from Linux during interview .Or is it good to have Linux understanding for this data profiles please suggest me ?
Im struggling to find advantage of Python in Excel...With formulas, pivots, queries, dax, vba...Maybe there is some specialty in 3% of the time that i might use Python in Excel but im trying to figure out for an average analyst what are the benefits...
Biggest pain in ass is that you still have to open excel files. Normally if i want to use python to analyze data, i want it because of i have 20 files with 1000000 rows and it just lags, python in excel doesn't help here
You can use Power Query to "fetch" the data and then use Python to analyze. As of now Excel Python can't access any data that is not already in Excel (either physically or in Power Query).
One of my favorite things about using Python is NOT having to open Excel. That said, my work is paying for me to take Anaconda's 10-hr, "Python in Excel" workshop. I'm hopeful that the integration will just get better from here.
Well said. I'm excited to learn this, but that is me being a forever student. However, being able to run if offline is not an option atm. Nonetheless, what do we know about what's to happen in the next months or years, right?
This video is quite informative and it's very interesting to know that it uses internet connectivity which undermines the excel calculation capabilities because people still faces some glitches when they work on auto save enabled file. But yeah it's good that Microsoft is adopting new language, God knows we may get tableu also in future
Microsoft (Like Autocad) Devs think in a very old way of developing. You would think there would be easier steps to uh…make a line or a circle. Some people know how to keep their jobs and manipulate the people paying them. 😅
You can learn it, you can ignore it, you can use something else you already know. They are not replacing anything in Excel with Python. They are just adding the feature.
I did mention how to get it. You need to join the beta / insider program and update your office. See this article for more information - chandoo.org/wp/introduction-to-python-in-excel/
Online connection required? Well, that just made this feature utterly useless - I'd rather run python and load the excel sheets myself using pandas without Microsoft listening in.
I am far more concerned with what Microsoft are going to do with said data in their cloud. As I already know Python, pandas and how to export that, I really see no value. Likely suited for managers who have heard of Python.
@@chandoo_ mr Chandoo, is there any AI tool that can upload an excel file in it. Or be integrated into excel. And analyze data and produce complex formulas? Thanks a lot for your answer.

One of the most Honest and Valuable review and opinion on the new features of Excel, because not everything that shines, is gold !
Your videos are brilliant Chandoo. You take time to explain both the good and bad of any new introductions and agree that this adds new level of complexity above learning all the other features.
Thanks for these lovely words :)
I learnt Excel from you back in 2010. Your passion for this is still the same. More respect and power to you Chandoo Sir !
Wow.. always a pleasure to (re)connect with long-time fans such as yourself. More power to you ⚡
Same here. Got almost all my excel and data skills from him

Thanks for the suggestion @Tomlyn... I do have a detailed Python video to help you with this. See th-cam.com/video/uoC48wrJ-yM/w-d-xo.html
Thankyou Chandoo for the amazing information. Helping a lot of people like me in our daily tasks.❤
My pleasure 😊
Thanks Chandoo! Looking forward to experimenting with Python.
All the best Chris. Do let us know how your Python experiments are going.
Thanks so much!! Really appreciate the video and the free pdf. 😊😊
Appreciate 🎉 Chandoo... excellent explanation about python....
hi sir I'm using microsoft2016 i don't see any python in formulas button what is wrong with it thanks
Very impressive support material. Thank you
added to the playlist, yes!!!
I did not even adapted to office script because we want dynamic automation not absolute automation. So there will be some excel feature will be underutilized. Because I see people are still new to Power Query even after 12 years of implementation.
But yeah I am happy that you started to lean python in very recent past.
Thank you for such an honest review. I totally agree with you.
Happy Teacher's day, your learning have helped me grow immensely. 🙏
the python is shown in the formula tab but it is not working in my excel. why?
13:00 should give you all the info
Will Python overtake VBA at all? What I mean is do you think they will remove VBA at some point??
absolutely two different things. python is for data science. vba can do wayyyy more things ( access to all office apps, can send email print things, use events etc) .
Thank you so much. Happy teacher's day.. 🙏🙏
i hope microsoft update the vba , just add some input type like html and it will be great
Very nice content!! But I'm not able to enable python in Excel 365. In fact there is no inbuilt add-in given.
Thankyou Mr. Chandoo.
Thanks Sir, it is one great helpful video
Would love it if you could detach the formula bar. Considering how many lines can be in python code that would be really helpful.
Can Python running in the cloud read and write to the local machine?
Bahaha I was just clicking like at the exact moment your rubber ducky first squeaked, and for a moment I thought TH-cam had sound effects 😂
That is GREAT :)
well explained, especially the good and bad ones
Amazing video ❤
Great video as always!
Thanks again professor. Good to know that.
Aahh Chandoo..
Hi Chandoo! All your tutorials are excellent! Can you make another video about extracting data from websites and ti upload in excel. Thanks.
You are welcome. I have a few on webscraping. Check this playlist - th-cam.com/play/PLmejDGrsgFyCPqKERr-anrRZAdeKYhoxZ.html
03:55 timeframe , my roommate was checking with me whether i am studying or watching something else 😂
Chandoo will there any data analysis tools that are lost if I made a switch to MacOS
Sir for Data analysis we should learn python language? Or excel,Power BI, Tableau and SQL is enough... to manage a data?
Please let me know when u find out. I'm also curious
I haven't seen its benefits yet. People praise it, but everything in the video seems doable in Excel, and more simply.
The marketing hype is too rose tinted. While this is an exciting turn of events, I am not sure it will catch on so wildly with the way they implemented it.
What about Google Sheet, can we automate the process in it ? Is it more approachable?
Thanks for this informative video. im a getting a '#PYTHON!' error. It is an 'unexpected failure'. Does anyone know how to resolve it ?

Of course that is always there. That is why this implementation of Python is not "full" Python.
Thanks 🙏❤
You're welcome 😊
Woah 😮 super super ✨
Can I use python to fetch the data from my company's MIS portal and use it to link it with powerpivot.
You can use Power Query to "fetch" the data and then use Python to analyze. As of now Excel Python can't access any data that is not already in Excel (either physically or in Power Query).
Curious when or even IF R (aka Posit 😩) will be coming to Excel
Thank You Sir, please create videos on DAX Language....few more and Happy Teacher's day
I can not find Python even as a formula in Excel 365?
Its available only on a special online service of 365

Hello chando Sir, if I did certificate data science course In india which is good scope in USA
saw this last week in Kenji Explains
Well said. I'm excited to learn this, but that is me being a forever student. However, being able to run if offline is not an option atm. Nonetheless, what do we know about what's to happen in the next months or years, right?
That is right. Hopefully, we will have an option to switch run-time to local Python instance.
they're getting rid of vba??? this might finally motivate me to learn python
They are not. VBA is here and probably will be for a LOONG time to come.
does code completion work with python in excel?
Why the resource site is not opening ??
Try again.. my site was probably too busy.
what problem does python in excel solve ? i mean why do this in the first place ? please share your thoughts here or any other video ...thanks
Nice again SIR
Please make a large video on SQL

07:10 Dial-Up Sound affect is bigger than Excel and Python 😂
😂 Couldn't resist as I grew up with that.

Since Xlookup you should say
Great.

I'm more surprised of your beard
I am hoping to grow it out until end of the year. Let's see. Might color it dark once I have enough hair.
This is driving me. nuts() 😂

What security gaps and functional collisions will this unholy matrimony create...?
While it doesn't seem all the bad, I am sure people will discover some weird loopholes in this implementation.
