TODAY: Webinar - Excel custom functions on Azure functions

September 14, 2023

Hi everyone,

Just a quick reminder that the webinar is happening today!

In summary, it will be about writing custom functions (a.k.a. user-defined functions UDFs) such as the one in the picture and deploying them to Azure functions so that there is no local Python dependency! Thanks to the modern Excel add-ins, custom functions run on all platforms (Windows, macOS, Web).

TODAY: 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.
