Python Functions Repository
June 3, 2025
Overview
We’ve launched a repository of Python Functions that can be used in Excel as custom functions through the Python for Excel add-in and as web apps via Gradio .
Our goal is to provide a broad range of example functions that demonstrate how Python can extend Excel’s capabilities, enabling users to perform complex calculations, data analysis, and automation tasks directly within their spreadsheets. These can be used to accelerate the building your own custom functions tailored to your specific business needs.
Please be aware that these functions are not rigorously tested, so they should not be used as-is for production purposes without further validation. They are provided purely as examples.
Why Use Python Functions in Excel?
While Excel is a powerful tool for calculations and data analysis, it has limitations when it comes to advanced analytics, automation, and integration. Python functions allow you to:
- Perform advanced statistical analysis, optimization, and modeling using industry-standard libraries.
- Connect to APIs, web data, and external sources with just a formula.
- Analyze unstructured data, such as text, with natural language processing tools.
- Build custom solutions that scale beyond what is possible with built-in Excel features.
