It's actually available in beta. It was announced while I working on this project but I kept going with pure Excel functions because I wanted to illustrate the transformer without abstractions getting in the way. It would make many aspects easier but also make it easier to hide a lot.

That being said, Python+Excel makes a ton of sense in general. And in this project, it would help in the tutorials. For example, in the embeddings tutorial I'm working on I wanted use PCA plots and SVD to illustrate the workings of embeddings but neither are natively supported in Excel without paid plug-ins. But both are easy in Python.
