Excel

Microsoft Excel is a widely used spreadsheet application that allows users to organize data, perform calculations, and create charts. Despite being around for over 40 years, it remains popular among users, with an estimated 1.1 billion people utilizing it globally. Excel provides an intuitive interface for data manipulation, making it accessible for many tasks, from simple calculations to complex data analysis 4.

However, Excel does have limitations. It can handle a maximum of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns, which may not be sufficient for large datasets typical in big data scenarios. Additionally, managing multiple Excel files for tailored reports can become cumbersome 4.

To enhance Excel’s capabilities, integrating Python can automate repetitive tasks and improve efficiency. The openpyxl module, for instance, allows Python programs to read and modify Excel files, making it easier to handle large datasets and perform complex analyses 1.
