This is so weird. I built a "python within excel" a few years back.

Abandoned now: https://alphawolfxl.com/

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 :)
