    Python integration in Excel allows users to leverage Python's powerful data analysis and automation capabilities directly within spreadsheets. Here's how you can enable and use Python in Excel:

    1. Check Compatibility

    • Python in Excel is available for Microsoft 365 users on Windows (Version 2408 or later) and Mac (Version 16.96 or later). Ensure your Excel version supports this feature.

    2. Enable Python in Excel

    • Open Excel and navigate to the Formulas tab.

    • Select Insert Python or use the =PY function in a cell to start writing Python code.

    • For example:

    =PY("sum([1, 2, 3])")
    Copied!

    3. Reference Excel Data in Python

    • Use the xl() function to reference Excel ranges or tables within Python formulas.

    • Example:

    =PY("xl('A1') + xl('B1')")
    Copied!

    4. Install xlwings for Advanced Integration (Optional)

    For more advanced use cases, you can use the xlwings library:

    • Install it via pip:

    pip install xlwings
    Copied!

    • Write Python scripts that interact with Excel using xlwings.
