“Can’t I just ask ChatGPT?”

You can. I do too.

But Python in Excel is new, and AI still suggests code that sounds right and does not run. If you do not know what good Python looks like, you cannot tell which answer you got.  

Two hours of foundation is what turns AI from a guess into a shortcut.

Foundations is the first step, not a dead end

Foundations is sections 1 to 3 of Python in Excel for the Real World. Same lessons, same files, same instructor.
