I think Data Nitro is really cool, and as a data geek the idea of having a real language available inside the Excel environment gets me very excited.
Unfortunately, by increasing the power and capability of what a careless user can do, while expanding the learning curve and moving Python code to a different place than any cell-level functions or global VBA functions are stored... all of this just makes the potential for issues of human failure far greater.
- BrianEatWorld 13y agoIs there a reason you don't use one of the current data analysis languages like R, Stata, SAS, etc?
- peteforde 13y agoI use those languages frequently, when they are the right tool for the job. Well, R and Stata, at least — but also Processing and D3 and Google Maps... Not sure how this is relevant to my concern, though.
