I have a situation where a client provides an Excel file containing their own formulas. I need to input some variables into it and then read the calculated results after it has processed everything, like sums and other operations. Is there a way to do this across various programming languages?

You can definitely use Python's Pandas library to read data directly from an Excel file into a DataFrame. If the Excel contains computations or formulas, those will need to be executed beforehand. You could save the Excel file as a CSV to handle the data more straightforwardly, but that means losing any formulas. Could you share more about your project requirements?
I get where you're coming from with reading and parsing! If you're dealing with Excel files containing macros and calculations, it's important to note that the computations are usually executed when the file is saved. So, if you make changes and save the file, those calculations should be updated. You also might consider using Pandas together with openpyxl, which has some capabilities for reading Excel files with formulas intact.
