Anaconda Toolbox Makes Python in Excel as Easy as =PY()

We’re excited to announce new tools in our Anaconda Toolbox! These new tools, as well as existing ones, were created to help you quickly generate code and visualizations while also learning Python as you go. Anaconda Toolbox is powered by Anaconda—the same team that provides Python libraries for Microsoft’s Python in Excel.

Python in Excel beta users can sign up and start using Anaconda Toolbox today.

What Capabilities Does Anaconda Toolbox Offer to Excel Users?

Anaconda Toolbox enables anyone, regardless of their Python experience level, to quickly generate code and visualizations in Microsoft Excel while learning Python along the way. By using Anaconda Toolbox, Python in Excel users can take full advantage of all the capabilities Microsoft Excel and Python have to offer. Plus, you can share data and collaborate with Python experts in Anaconda.cloud notebooks. Here are some of the key features of Anaconda Toolbox:

Write, Save, and Share Code Snippets

Code snippets allow you to easily carry code from place to place. Not only can you save your code to use at a later time, but you can also share code with other users directly through the Toolbox, without having to leave Microsoft Excel. The ability to write, save, and share code through Anaconda Toolbox saves you time and allows for better collaboration between users. 

Anaconda Assistant for Python in Excel

Know what you want to do, but don’t know how to do it in Python? Just ask Anaconda Assistant. Use one of our provided prompts or create your own, and Anaconda Assistant for Python in Excel can analyze your tables and recommend different ways of working with your data. And don’t worry if you moved to another workbook, your history follows you so you can use the same code wherever you go. 

Create Powerful Visualizations with Ease

Even if you’re not familiar with Python code, Anaconda Toolbox allows you to create advanced and powerful data visualizations with the click of a button. Access templates and libraries directly through the tool that you can display in your Microsoft Code Excel worksheet. Simply push the code to the grid and it will run with your other Python code. 

Easily Access, Analyze, and Share Data

Data is available in more places than ever, making it easier than ever to collaborate between teams. By using data connectors in Anaconda Toolbox, you can easily access and analyze your data and share it in an Excel workbook or Anaconda.cloud notebook. If you’re an Excel user that needs to collaborate with a Python expert, you can access the same data set directly through Anaconda Toolbox. Anaconda Toolbox offers better versioning, rather than separate files, so you can easily find the most up-to-date data set. 

Easy as =PY()

Whether you’re a data scientist, Excel user, Python programmer, or interested in maximizing all that Microsoft Excel can do, Anaconda Toolbox can help. 

Python in Excel users can visit AppSource, Microsoft’s add-in marketplace, to download the beta version of Anaconda Toolbox or visit the Anaconda website to learn more.
