Can someone suggest VBA and Python resources specifically for Excel?

I'm helping someone from the Windows world upskill. Her biggest technical skill is Excel, so we're staring with that.

I can point her towards a Byte of Python for starters, but it has nothing about Excel integration and I really want to cover that. Thanks, folks.

Seeking #recommendations for #alternatives to #Microsoft #Excel. Ideally #FOSS but not a hard requirement. I tried #LibreOffice #Calc and #CryptPad but found their capabilities lacking. E.g., I need something comparable to Excel's tables that allows me to refer to table and column names in my formulas instead of just cell locations. It looks like #SoftMaker can, but they also integrate #ChatGPT, and I'd like to avoid my money helping destroy the #environment and oppress the #GlobalSouth.

#Excel è uno dei prodotti informatici al tempo stesso più usati e più odiati del mondo.
La cosa notevole è che sia l'uso che l'odio vengono in buona parte dal fatto che molti lo hanno frainteso e lo usano male.
La maggioranza della gente (sia a livello professionale che privato) lo usa per creare banche dati, elenchi, liste o simili.
Ma Excel è un foglio di calcolo! Al limite un #programma per creare grafici! Non un programma per creare banche dati!

Ich habe gerade über den gem. Verein der Kinder eine Lehrerkollegin kennen gelernt. Informatik, Administratorin, sympathisch. Hessen, berufliches Gymnasium.

- sie verbindet gerade etliche private Schüler #iPads mit dem schulischen MDM und Classroom. 🤔

- alle Schüler melden sich an den Schul-PCs mit ihrem #Microsoft-Konto an. 😱

- es gibt ein verpflichtendes #MS365 mit OneNote Kursbüchern. 🤦‍♂️

- Nein, natürlich habe sie die AGB nicht gelesen. Und auch keine Vorgaben / Einschränkungen des Bildungsministeriums. 😱 Es sei ja doch erlaubt. 😖

- ja, das sei ja schon "etwas bedenklich", aber es sei ja ein Schulbeschluss und ihr Chef habe das "von oben" für alle verpflichtend so angeordnet. Dafür sei es ja auch praktisch, einheitlich und Standard. Und #Word, #Excel, #Powerpoint stehe schließlich im Lehrplan.

"Mit Produktname und Herstellervorgabe?"

Nein, so direkt ja nicht. Aber was denn sonst?

Ich erzähle nur von meiner nicht vorhandenen freiwilligen Einwilligung.

Jetzt sitzt sie wo anders.

So have I got this right, #Microsoft - if I insert a link into an #Excel spreadsheet cell, then A. I can change the link target but there's no way of stripping the link & also B. even if I delete the contents of the cell entirely, anything I subsequently write in it will still be formatted like a hyperlink & if I don't want non-functional & nonsensical links in my file I have to manually remove the underline & change the text color...?

I swear, MS errors feel like trolling.

I hate #Microsoft with a white-hot intensity.

I have to use #Office365 for work. I created a spreadsheet that is not needed - someone else had created a better version. I want to delete it.

There is no option of any kind at all to delete the file from inside the #Excel 365 view.

If you go out to #OneDrive, it first shows you its Home view with recent files. All you can do from there is share, copy or open the file again.

If you go into the OneDrive My Files view and navigate to find the file, you can select the checkcircle (not a checkbox lest it prompts an interaction, and only visible when you hover in the right place) beside the file, and finally Delete appears in the inconspicous ribbon at the top or in the More Actions menu that appears if you hover in just the right place to get three dots and then click on them.

After all that, even with all open tabs closed, it refuses for at least five minutes to delete the file because it tells me it is locked.

After an indecent timeout of something somewhere, on my fifth attempt, it finally lets me delete the file.

They REALLY want to hang on to every possible bit of data so they can learn from it. And I guess so that people have to expand the storage for their OneDrive accounts to retain old shopping lists and the like.

I've been in IT long enough that I still think of disc and memory as things that needs to be managed and conserved.
