Anaconda Code: Python in Excel, Now Local

Anaconda Code, a new tool from Anaconda, empowers users to write Python code directly within Excel and run it locally.

Until now, users had to run Python code on Microsoft Azure's cloud servers. To provide Python in Excel locally, Anaconda used Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

Anaconda Code improves upon the snake-named company's Python in Excel offering from 2023, which ran code remotely in the cloud. By running code locally, it provides users with flexibility and control over their data.

Anaconda Code uses the PyScript library, which allows Python code to run in a web browser without the need for a server. This means that users can write and run Python code in Excel without having to install any additional software or configure their environment.

Anaconda Code is a great tool for data scientists and analysts who want to use Python to analyze and visualize data in Excel. It is also a valuable tool for developers who want to create custom Excel applications.

Anaconda Code is available now as a free download from the Anaconda website.
