Hi, I'm Sven.
I build the desktop apps, Excel add-ins and templates behind Python & VBA, and teach Excel automation to 117,000 people on my YouTube channel, CodingIsFun.
My story, in three chapters
Excel, from day one
I started with Excel during my business administration studies and spent my corporate career at Bosch, the world's largest automotive supplier, as a data analyst building tools that automate data work.
Three years in Japan
A Bosch assignment took me to Japan, where I picked up Python and started combining it with VBA. MyToolBelt, which brings pandas DataFrames into Excel, and Grafly, for one-click interactive dashboards, both come from that time.
Full-time on Python & VBA
I left the corporate track to do this full-time: building the tools on this site and sharing everything I know on CodingIsFun, my YouTube channel.
What I build
Ready-to-use tools for the work Excel is usually too slow at. No coding required: download, open, done.

Easy setup, powerful results
"We needed to send our wedding RSVP link to about 65 contacts and I was dreading doing it manually. QuickText made it really easy. Import the contacts, personalize the messages, and send. Simple but well thought out."

"Not only does the developer respond directly to your questions, he actually acts on them. I made a feature request and it was implemented the next day. That kind of dedication is rare."

"I was about to write something similar myself in Python, but Sven's already done all the hard work, and done it better than I would have. If you're on the fence, just get it. You'll thank yourself later."
