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.

Displaying Python charts within Excel

Throughout this chapter, you have been creating charts one at a time and viewing them in the Excel grid. In this final section, we will look at a few additional techniques for managing and displaying your visualizations within Excel.

Adjusting figure size

By default, seaborn charts are rendered at a standard size, which may be too small or too large depending on your needs. You can control the figure size by calling plt.figure() before creating your chart:

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
sns.boxplot(x='origin', y='mpg', data=mpg_df)
plt.title('Fuel Efficiency by Origin')

The resized chart is shown in Figure 3.21:

Increasing the size gives your chart more room to breathe, which is especially helpful when working with multiple groups, legends, or longer labels.

So far, we have been adjusting a single chart at a time. But often, you may want to compare the same chart across...
