Microsoft is bringing Python to Excel
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.
You won’t need to install any additional software or set up an add-on to access the functionality, as Python integration in Excel will be part of Excel’s built-in connectors and Power Query. Microsoft is also adding a new PY function that allows Python data to be exposed within the grid of an Excel spreadsheet. Through a partnership with Anaconda, an enterprise Python repository, popular Python libraries like pandas, statsmodels, and Matplotlib will be available in Excel.

As someone who is learning python, this is exactly what I was learning to code for. Are there any known resources or courses that specifically teach about python for excel or what you should learn t for this application? Libraries & dictionaries seem like a good start?
I'm guessing the features for reading csv will be important. So I would look at Automate the Boring Stuff with Python.
Cool, thanks for the suggestion!
There are some very good libraries for using Python with Excel. The creator of xlwings wrote a book: Python for Excel.
My favorite library is pandas, which can integrate with other libraries to edit Excel.
