Automate 10 Hours a Week with Python - Excel in BI Webinars
Automate 10 Hours a Week with Python | Excel in BI Webinar
In this session, Excel in BI founder and data professional with 17 years of experience walks through how to use Python to eliminate repetitive manual tasks and reclaim hours each week. The webinar covers the mindset shift required to start automating, the common data tasks that drain time, and why Python has become far more accessible than most people assume.
The second half of the session moves into a live demo using VS Code and GitHub Copilot, showing how to write Python scripts with plain English instructions via AI assistance. A real-life example covers converting a CSV file into a formatted Excel output using OpenPyXL and Pandas, with no prior programming background required.
The session is delivered as a hands-on live demo, with screen sharing throughout and practical examples drawn from real business automation projects.
