How To Run A Python Script Using Excel VBA

In order to use the Python scripts that we create, we need to be able to execute them from within an Office application. This can be done using VBA, so in this video, we will go over how to execute a Python script using VBA.

Thank you for saving us tons of time with the """ triple quotes to handle file paths with spaces in it. You have provided so much value in your tutorials which is uniquely different and the first I have come across to show how python can be integrated in excel vba to complement and work together which is Excel on steroids. Like, subscribed and clicked the notification bell!!

Ooooh! I just thought that instead of using python gui can we use Excel to run script, which incidentally sends its results to the Excel sheets. And see what happens. I got this. Thank you so much. I see that you have included Excel, Power Point and Python all together. That's so nice to know.... Thank you

Thanks a lot! This worked smoothly. I wanted to run an email notifier code in python, after my VBA has finished. It worked wonderfully.

[rafaelmarques]

Cheers from Brazil! Very nice content, keep the amazing work!

[JHatLpool]

Nice demonstration of an important point.

[UrbanFoxtrot]

Thank you sir! This is unbelievably helpful, you made my day. Hope you have a great one too.

Does anyone know how to implement this if you need to import libraries? Say for example pandas or numpy?

[deldridg]

Very nice intro and thank you for your efforts - much appreciated. As a long time analyst and Excel developer, I'm interested in utilising Python's libraries from Excel so will be looking through your tutorials in the coming weeks as I further my Python skills. Cheers and thanks from Sydney, Aust - Dave

When you say "make sure to add a subroutine" at the start, what exactly is to be done? I'm new at this.

Hi, when I do this my VBA doesn't seem to start the python script. I just get a quick flash of a cmd-like window and no results. I tried keeping the python script as simple as possible just to test this. Any suggestions?

Hi, I have a Python function which reads values from Excel_sheet and do simulation with those values. After simulation output result is going back to excel sheet (this all done by my python function), only excel sheet file path is an input for python function because python is reading required values from excel. Now, i wanted to create a excel macro button which will call my python function and will automatically give activeworkbook path to my python function. How can i do that?

[robsmith]

Brilliant. Simple, clear and succinct. Thanks

[David-bozj]

What if I want to share the Excel file with someone else? Do they need to have the Python file downloaded? And would they need to manually change the path to said Python file? Thanks!

Is there anyway to run a Python function and get return value and use them in Excel?

[hoavanphu]

Thanks so much, you made my day! Very nice content, keep the amazing work!

[Manche-De-Pelle]

Cn you make it by putting the script in the module instead of keeping it in another location (.py) ?

[manoharvenkat]

Thanks for the Video. I have questions like, can we take this python executable path and python script path using shell command and then used to execute shell run command. which will help for me when I open this excel sheet in another machine where python executable in a different path. Can you please help on this query.

[asingh]

Not Sure about this, first time VBA code works. But after that it's not working. Tried on two systems, in both systems codes work perfectly first time, however it's throwing errors if try second time to run Python code from VBA.

[edwardchau]

What is the python .exe filepath and how did you determine what the path is in the C drive? Can we do the same things on a mac?

[hungyuchiu]

Thanks, , that helps a lot.
I have a question about this, how can I only call a function in in a python script rather than whole python script ?
