Detailed Comparison
Integrate Python into Microsoft Excel. Use Excel as your user-facing front-end with calculations, business logic and data access powered by Python. Works with all 3rd party and open source Python packages. No need to write any VBA! | It is a versatile tool that supports a variety of workloads. It is composed of two parts: Dynamic task scheduling optimized for computation. This is similar to Airflow, Luigi, Celery, or Make, but optimized for interactive computational workloads. Big Data collections like parallel arrays, dataframes, and lists that extend common interfaces like NumPy, Pandas, or Python iterators to larger-than-memory or distributed environments. These parallel collections run on top of dynamic task schedulers. |
User Defined Functions: Write Excel worksheet functions in Python - no VBA required;Ribbon Customization: Give your users a rich Excel native experience;Macros: No need for VBA, access to the full Excel Object Model in Python;Menu Functions: Call Python functions from Excel menus, and give common tasks keyboard shortcuts;Real Time Data: Stream data to Excel in real-time using Python;Array Functions: Return tables of data to Excel that resize automatically;IntelliSense: Auto-complete worksheet functions as you type them;NumPy and Pandas Integration: Use NumPy and Pandas types in Excel | Supports a variety of workloads;Dynamic task scheduling ;Trivial to set up and run on a laptop in a single process;Runs resiliently on clusters with 1000s of cores |
