Call Python Functions From Excel

Expose your analytics or modelling functions directly to Excel users. Any Python function can be turned into an Excel worksheet function, or User Defined Function (UDF).

• Interactive modelling, analysis and ad-hoc calculations

• Build dashboards using Python functions

• Source data from your existing systems

• Faster calculation times than VBA

Macros, Menus and Ribbon Tabs

Automate Excel using macros, menu items, custom ribbon tabs and context menus, entirely in Python.

• Use Excel instead of building your own UI

• Bind macros to on-sheet buttons and other elements

• Full control of the ribbon with Python actions

• No VBA required, automate Excel with Python

Real Time Data

Stream live market data into your spreadsheets in real-time.

• Make auto-updating dashboards with live data

• Source real time data from anywhere with Python

• Use Python’s asyncio event loop or your own threads

• No complicated setup required

Lightning Fast Object Cache

Pass Python objects directly between Excel worksheet functions for cleaner and faster workbooks.

• No need to always expand large arrays in Excel

• Reduce spreadsheet clutter by returning objects in a single cell

• Pass returned Python objects to other Python functions

• Avoid time wasted reconstructing objects

Frictionless Developer Experience

Use any Python distribution (including Anaconda) and your preferred Python IDE or editor.

• All code is external to Excel so is easily managed and deployed

• Debugging support for all major Python IDEs

• Reload automatically or manually, without restarting Excel

• Code can be run and tested outside of Excel
