Python in Excel for Data Analytics

By: George Mount

Overview of this book

Excel is one of the most widely used tools for business analysis, but many analytical tasks quickly reach the limits of formulas and built-in features. Python in Excel changes that by allowing you to perform advanced analysis directly within the spreadsheet environment. This book shows how to combine Excel’s structure and usability with Python’s analytical power. You will learn how to move data between Excel and Python DataFrames, clean and transform datasets efficiently, and explore data using modern visualization techniques. As you progress, you will apply Python to real analytical problems including statistical testing, regression modeling, forecasting, and simulation. You will also learn how to integrate Python outputs into Excel dashboards and reports, creating workflows that are both powerful and practical. Designed for Excel users with no prior programming experience, this book introduces Python concepts gradually and focuses on real-world applications rather than theory. By the end, you will be able to extend Excel in meaningful ways, helping you analyze data more effectively and support better decision-making.

In the previous chapter, you learned how to write Python code in Excel and load data into pandas DataFrames. Here, you will build on that foundation to perform real analysis. The goal is simple: take the kinds of tasks you already do in Excel and execute them faster, more flexibly, and more reproducibly, using pandas.

pandas is the core tool for data manipulation in Python, and it will be your primary engine throughout this book. If Excel is your workspace for viewing and presenting data, pandas is what powers the underlying transformations, letting you filter, sort, group, and summarize data efficiently.

The focus in this chapter is practical. You will select rows and columns, create new fields, and aggregate data to answer specific questions. Where relevant, each technique is paired with its Excel equivalent so you can clearly see how your existing skills carry over into pandas.

In this chapter, you will cover...
