Just to add my 2 cents, C# can deal with Excel sheets too! 😉 Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wss56bz7.aspx

I know someone with a similar experience to you he uses Python. - great for calculating complex math. - used for research. - used for many other things. - some say it is easy to learn.

I think python will be suitable as it is known for its good calculation speed. All calculations can be done smoothly with python. as @Manual suggested

Yes. I agree. C# and excel go very nice together. https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/511360/?ref=app What do you want to do ?

@baptiste. If you need to stay in the excel-sheet you are bound to VBA. If you can use other coding environments, I do prefer C# as it is more typesafe and more widely used.

Well, the first, maybe you need not to learn any programming language to work with Excell. Because Excell constains a lot of functions and inside techniques to make a difficult calculations in it;s spreadsheet tabes. Its not a matter of programming, but your preview of Excell help or study books about Excell, But, Excell includes too a special macro language in which you can writes a snippets of code to automatize a series of Excel Commands. The language is a VBA, that means Visual Basic for Applications. This language is not teached here in Sololearn, but it is very simple to learn it;s base. What can be more difficut is to learn the object model of Excell, for get or set data between VBA code and cells and sheets in spreadsheet and next operations - like save or print these data...

I agree @sneeze but as he said most of his work was in excel, I thought that a language specialized for this was better :)
