Hello, I'm a high school physics teacher and while I've played with Python
enough to make a rock paper scissors program or animation of a bouncing ball
(with air resistance!), I've never used it to work with data from a spreadsheet.
I have a large spreadsheet with a number of different student responses to a
weekly prompt in various cells depending on which question they chose to
answer. I'd like to organize these responses into something that make it easy
for students to look back through their responses over time, and see how
they've changed.
This is obviously possible in Python, but I don't know where to begin learning
the details of what I'll need to know to build it. Can anyone give me a
specific recommendation of tutorials where I might begin?
Is your spreadsheet actually on sheets (paper) or in a program? If the
latter, you should be about to output the data as a 'comma-separated
variable' (csv) file and read it in python with the csv module. If you
want to work with the data directly in the spreadsheet file, the details
depend on the OS and program.
