Take the Leap From Excel to Python: A Hands-On Guide

****INCLUDES DOZENS OF HANDS–ON CODING NOTEBOOKS****

This course will use hands–on exercises to teach you how to apply your Excel knowledge in Python.

Several years ago, I was in your shoes. I tried learning Python but would go back to do things in Excel because I was more comfortable with it. My goal in this course is to help you become as comfortable in Python as you are in Excel. To become comfortable, you need to have opportunities to participate in hands–on exercises and projects. You will have the chance to do both in this course.

This course is designed for students who want to grow their careers or improve their analysis by using Python.
