Some members of the Microsoft 365 Insiders program can now try out the combination of Python, Excel and the Anaconda Python repository.

Ever wished you could do more with Microsoft Excel? Microsoft just announced the release of a public preview of Python in Excel, which would allow users to add Python code directly into a spreadsheet.

Microsoft Excel now lets you run Python scripts on images to detect sharpness, edit visuals, and analyze metadata.

Excel gets containerized, cloud-based Python analytics and visualization powers Visualization and analytics tools available in preview, but may be paywalled.
