Himanshu Sharma4 days ago·3 min read
Excel is widely used for data analysis and has a lot of functionalities for analyzing, manipulating, visualizing, etc. Using excel should be one of the main skills required for a Data Analyst, Product Analyst, and Business Analyst. It helps in understanding the data and how we can use it for generating useful insights.
Python is also widely used for Data Analysis purposes and also overcomes the drawbacks of Excel. With a little knowledge of Python, we can enhance our Data Analysis skills and also generate more useful insights.
Combining both Excel and Python can be fruitful and makes Data Analysis more interesting. ExcelWriter is used for performing different Excel operations using Python. It provides a wide variety of functionalities like creating an Excel, writing data into an Excel sheet, creating visualizations in Excel, etc.

Spreadsheet Addiction
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under estatística, materiais para profissionais
Um bom e muito completo relato dos defeitos do MS Excel para análise de dados.
Some people will think that the “addiction” in the title is over the top, or at least used metaphorically. It is used literally, and is not an exaggeration.
Addiction is the persistent use of a substance where that use is detrimental to the user. It is not the substance that is the problem — more limited use may be beneficial. It is the extent and circumstances of the use that determine if the behavior is addictive or not.
Spreadsheets are a wonderful invention. They are an excellent tool for what they are good at. The problem is that they are often stretched far beyond their home territory. Dangerous abuse of spreadsheets is only too common.
I know there are many spreadsheets in financial companies that take all night to compute. These are complicated and commonly fail. When such spreadsheets are replaced by code more suited to the task, it is not unusual for the computation time to be cut to a few minutes and the process much easier to understand.
A 2012 example of spreadsheet addiction.
The technology acceptance model holds that there are two main factors that determine the uptake of a technology: the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease-of-use. Perception need not correspond to reality.
The perception of the ease-of-use of spreadsheets is to some extent an illusion. It is dead easy to get an answer from a spreadsheet, however, it is not necessarily easy to get the right answer. Thus the distorted view.
The difficulty of using alternatives to spreadsheets is overestimated by many people. Safety features can give the appearance of difficulty when in fact these are an aid.
The hard way looks easy, the easy way looks hard.

Excel: Esconder valores duplicados
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under materiais para profissionais, software
Duplicate values aren’t wrong or bad, but they can be distracting. You probably won’t want to delete them, but you might just want to hide them. For example, the simple sheet below repeats date values in column A. In a reporting scenario, those duplicate dates might be annoying.
