While Excel offers many formatting options to make your workbook visually appealing, manually formatting large datasets can be incredibly tedious. But Python can automate it with ease.

Also, Python isn’t limited to automation in Excel only. It opens up a host of other programming possibilities for you. Python is useful in web development, data science, machine learning, and more.

Microsoft Excel now lets you run Python scripts on images to detect sharpness, edit visuals, and analyze metadata.

Python is now integrated into Excel via Microsoft 365, allowing users to write Python code directly in spreadsheets using the `=PY` formula, enhancing data analysis and visualization capabilities.
