Overview

Context

Are you looking for a better solution than the one you’ve built in a spreadsheet? If so, then this Python for Spreadsheet Users course offered by Data Camp is a great introduction to the Python language, and will put you on the right path towards automating repetitive work, diving deeper into your data, and widening the scope of what you are capable of accomplishing. 

Throughout the course, you’ll always have a familiar reference point as you dive head first into Python.

What you will do during this course:

• In the first chapter, you'll become acclimated with Python syntax, loading your data into a Python session, and how to explore and edit this data to answer business questions.
• The pivot table is a core tool in the savvy spreadsheet user's arsenal. In the second chapter, we'll focus on simply recreating this functionality in Python using some handy DataFrame methods.
• The third chapter will focus on how to import and manage multiple sheets from a workbook, as well as how to join these sheets together using the Python equivalent of a VLOOKUP: the left join.
• Now that you're able to import and manipulate your data in Python, let's shift our focus to visualizing this data so that our insights are easily communicable to others.
