Session description:

If you’re an Excel user looking to level up your analytics skills, Python is a great choice for repeatable processes, compelling visualizations and robust visualizations. And while learning to code may seem too difficult, your Excel knowledge gives you a significant head start.

This introduction is intended for Excel users with no prior knowledge of Python. By the end of this session, you will know:

How Python differs from Excel as an open source software tool
How to identify and implement useful packages for data analytics
How to navigate and execute code in Jupyter notebooks
How to translate common Excel concepts such as cells, ranges and tables to Python equivalents
How to enhance Excel and Power BI with Python

I’ll also be giving away some free copies of my book Advancing into Analytics: From Excel to Python and R.

I hope to see you at the presentation!
