Webinar: Excel custom functions on Azure functions

September 11, 2023

Hi everyone, it's been a while!

Let's start with the obvious:

Python in Excel

It is old news by now: Microsoft has released the beta version for "Python in Excel" and you can read the announcement

. The functionality doesn't have any overlap with xlwings and doesn't allow you to write custom functions, so you may want to participate in my next webinar:

Webinar: Excel Custom Functions with Python and Azure Functions

Agenda:

  • Custom Function basics

  • Using NumPy, pandas, and PostgreSQL

  • Deployment to Azure functions via GitHub Actions

  • Logging

  • Authentication via SSO (Single Sign-on)

  • RBAC via Azure AD (Role-based access control)

Note that this will be a short webinar (~30 min), giving you a high-level overview of what's possible.
