    Anyone have the direct download link by chance?

    I realise the text is a direct copy n paste, and that is fine, but please make the expiry date after it match the Oz where we are bargaining.

    Hmmmm, I work in an adjacent field and I'm suss on anyone who thinks Excel can be a primary tool in data science. Better off learning Python or R along with SQL.

    Excel + PowerQuery is for a career path of business intelligence and reporting, not data science. Nothing wrong with this of course, perfectly valid career with plenty of employment opportunities and arguably more tangible business need but yeah it ain't data science.

      Yeah, I haven't used power query but for what I did at least Excel is a resource hog.

      Not to mention VBs peculiarities, eg. One line of code was silently failing as though that line of code was just being skipped. Looked up the MS docs for the function that was being called, found a KB with a workaround: "Comment out lines of code that call this function". So, absolutely no difference then…. smdh

      It's ok for analysis on smaller data sets. Wouldn't want to use it for larger projects, at least not with the setup we had available.

      Nothing wrong with Excel as a learning tool for data science, I have seen people teach machine learning using Excel. At the end of the day it's just another tool like a screwdriver vs an impact driver for assembling furniture, what you want to do is learn the concept so you ain't relied on the particular tool so that you can assemble furniture even if you only have a coin.
