I am a Stats major. During my Senior year I took lots of R, Python and Advanced Excel classes. This book covers most of the things that I learned in college and provides code examples that you can use if you want to practice Data Analysis in Python. Great resource if you want to learn Data Science and Data Automation at your own pace.

The book is very complete and takes you from very basic tasks like loading data from excel sheets to Python and R until more complex ones, such as VBA coding and automation.I especially liked the chapter about Time Series.Good book to Excel users to get started with programming languages.

I did pick this without thinking too much. I am pleasantly surprised by the content in here. I did think people might wonder why do you need Excel if you know Python and R, right? Well, my perspective was in 90% of jobs around the world, excel is going to be go to for majority of folks, that's how you submit reports to management or share stuff with other teams, and knowing to connect R and Python to do the analysis as a plugin to Excel can help a lot! Was surprised how much of the complex excel stuff you can automate easily with Python and R. Helped a ton with automating some of the stuff I never thought about previously. Great read!
