Hey - that's excellent advice - thank you very much!

Metadata sounds fantastic - I'll have a look at implementing that in.

The scroll issue - that's odd - I'll have a look what is happening there (it doesnt happen on my firefox) - thank you I'll take up your suggestions.

Yet again - really appreciated your really useful positive feedback! Thank you!


Thanks Ill update my wording. It seems funny that OpenAI would decompile jar files to source code for simple fun and checking API keys. The primary AI use with github of course is code training data....


This is so weird. I built a working "python within excel" a few years back. (it also did sql and matlab&r remotely)

Abandoned now: https://alphawolfxl.com/

I abandoned this when some people I asked to beta test it said "their company wouldn't pay for it" and gave me the impression I'd wasted my time....

....Not sure how to feel about this.....


Don’t feel too bad because if you would have created a product from it, today this product would be deprecated..


I don't think that's necessarily true. They built VSTO for C#, but everybody was using ExcelDNA instead, an Open Source solution that was much better!


By chance I built quite an interesting addin for excel using VSTO. It was great, nothing to complain about. In the corporate world Microsoft tech is widely common.


You were just ahead of your time!

It allowed python functions to be run on cells and ranges, and also allowed ranges to be filled with sql queries on databases.

I had managed to get also a matlab runner working (via matlab/java connector) and was just getting the R connector finished.

Basically, I made a website showing it working and gave a few people the plugin, and their feedback was "nah, my company won't pay for it, you're wasting your time" - so I shelved the project.

I have no idea what my emotions are doing right now :)
