Python in Excel: Combining the Power of Python and the Flexibility of Excel
Reading the headline, I initially thought that Microsoft bought the company behind XLWings [1], which also enables you to use Excel directly within Excel, even locally. Not affiliated in any kind to that company, just used it in the past.

Creating slicers with xlwings
I'm trying to automate a report and I know xlwings does not support pivot tables and slicers, as it is essentially a pywin32 wrapper. You can directly reference the COM object using .api and constants

Also you can also use xlwings library to build an excel add-on to replace or even augment VBA.

Why am I so terrible at Python?
The way I work is to use an interactive IPython REPL. It has a lot of features to make interactive development comfortable. I solve a problem incrementally, attempting to get a little piece of code right many times, changing it a little each time to fix bugs. Then I go back and copypaste the lines into a file and tidy it up a little. Then I go back to IPython and solve the next little stage of the problem. Maybe this style of development will be more fitting for you?

Excel Never Dies
Nice product, I noticed that you are updating the next Jupyter cell; what was your solution to doing that reliably since `set_next_input` is so damn flakey?
I personally grew so frustrated with the state of GUI development in Jupyter that I tried to fix it in such a way that would allow proper message passing between cells and python code (because you can't wait on Comm events).

But sadly the priorities of big open source projects don't always match your own. So I had to extract that logic into my own kernel.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xlwings and ipykernel you can also consider the following projects:
openpyxl
ipython-cells - IPython extension for running code blocks in .py files
XlsxWriter - A Python module for creating Excel XLSX files.
akernel - Asynchronous Python Jupyter kernel
pyexcel - Single API for reading, manipulating and writing data in csv, ods, xls, xlsx and xlsm files
xlwt
copypaster - Make web forms copy-pasteable.
python-docx - Create and modify Word documents with Python
pyright - Static Type Checker for Python
python-pptx - Create Open XML PowerPoint documents in Python
public_images - for more control than imgur
