Do you enjoy tinkering with Excel? Would you like to become the most advanced Excel Super User around the office? Maybe you have a lot of Excel spreadsheets that you need to manipulate?
If you fire up Excel whenever you need to do something, you have come to the right place! Join me and find out how to manipulate Excel with Python, and discover the possibilities of using Python as a scripting language.
Excel can produce a lot of PDF material also. That is why I created another course about using PyPDF2 to manipulate your PDF documents as well with Python.
