Extensions

It’s easy to extend the xlwings add-in with own code like UDFs or RunPython macros, so that they can be deployed without end users having to import or write the functions themselves. Just add another VBA module to the xlwings addin with the respective code.

UDF extensions can be used from every workbook without having to set a reference.

In-Excel SQL

The xlwings addin comes with a built-in extension that adds in-Excel SQL syntax (sqlite dialect):

=sql(SQL Statement, table a, table b, ...)

As this extension uses UDFs, it’s only available on Windows right now.
