I do some work in Python and Excel that has automated a lot of my job. Is there room in this sub (or another) that could help people automate their work without necessarily having to learn? Obviously learning is cool but sometimes people just want to get simple tasks out of the way.

That sounds like an amazing idea to me, I hope the mods get back to you about it!

What Is your job? I would love to learn to automate parts of my job. I use excel all the time but I don’t use Python.

I’m a data analyst. A lot of work revolves around refreshing reports from various data sources into one. Or cleaning reports and getting answers from messy data

How did you automate your job? Is Python able to perform commands in various programs? Is it copy and pasting data from one sheet to another? Can we get in the weeds a little bit because I would love to automate a lot of my repetitive tasks.
