Heeeeey cool. I want every GUI'd application to have a built in scripting capacity and Python is perfectly acceptable for it imho.
Microsoft is bringing popular programming language Python to Excel. A public preview of the feature is available today, allowing Excel users to manipulate and analyze data from Python.

@b4cks4w I still haven't seen that Excel update in the beta channel.
@peterquirk we neither but looks like I get to wait . It uses their cloud but requires Windows somehow. 🤔 For now.
@peterquirk ah there's the rub, no Excel for Linux.
@b4cks4w @Savean Have you seen this seen video on using #ChatGPT with #Excel?

@peterquirk @Savean eek. Will check it out.
@b4cks4w Autocorrect made a mess of that reply. I should have watched what was happening!
@b4cks4w The python code is executed on Azure and passed back it's result to Excel running on the PC. Dyalog APL employs a similar strategy when calling Python functions, though the Python engine can be on the PC or in the Anaconda cloud.
