- ptx 3y agoNot actually "in Excel", though. The Python code runs on Microsoft's servers (they say in the introduction) and Excel is just a client. There's no reason they couldn't embed CPython in Excel, but maybe the intention was for the online version of Excel to have feature parity without having to compile Python to JavaScript?
- cyanydeez 3y agothe intention is to lock in orgs to their cloud services. This is a value-add. They really know that Excel, Word are "feature complete" and the only way they're going to make money on it is by harvesting and locking in the users.
- mhh__ 3y agoAwful. They don't seem to understand excel anymore. If you want to see this done properly (on some limit) look at pyxll.
