So I am trying to learn Neural Network by Visualizing it via putting it in excel.
The table looks something like this:
I have to make this table in a markdown table so that I can put it up on GitHub. Is there some easy way to convert tables from Excel to Markdown as there are a whole lot number of tables just like this and it would take a huge amount of time to make it into markdown manually.
Pandoc seemed a little complicated to me and would have to understand another software just to get this simple task done. I used Typora to do this task. I was able to just copy the tables directly from MS Excel into the WYSIWYG editor of Typora and it will automatically generate Markdown code for the same.
Sorry if this answer is not upto the Stack Overflows's standards, but hey if someone else is looking for the same, it will help.
I would export to csv from Excel, then using pandoc and the pandoc-placetable filter:
pandoc-placetable --file=foo.csv | pandoc -f json -t gfm

I would like to create automatic connection between Excel that contains organizational structure data and Visio that creates organizational chart. My goal is to make Visio to reflects all changes in excel file, such as: changing positions, adding or removing employees.
I tried option with linking data to shapes but it is not what I want - it does not reflect changes in structure. It only refreshes data about existing employees.
Additionally, I designed chart in Visio that is readable (organization have over 10k employees). It generated a lot of manual work to make this visually appealing. I would like to have refreshing solution that would not break my existing design - just to replace/add/remove data from excel file.
Is there any existing solution to make this happen? I googled a lot but found nothing what works.
I will be grateful for help. Myabe you had similar problem in your organization?
Visio will not do what you want. The Visio offering is good for what it does but it is a one-size-fits-all solution.

Do we really need RPA for Excel automation as the same can be achieved with Excel VBA scripting ?
MS Excel VBO is just another way of representing the vb code to make it more resuable.
But i assume the same can be done with VB scripting as well.
What are pros and cons of RPA in regards to Excel Automation ?
The question is not very specific. Any technology has its pros and cons. Way more important would be the aim that you want to achieve.
If you e.g. just want to use some Excel calculations, go and take VBA as you do not have to install any additional tool. Here RPA is pretty much an overkill.
But often you would like to additionally upload that Excel file or send it via mail etc. Here a tool like UiPath or Blueprism is really helpful.
Also, the VBA is something you need to learn. RPA tools take away those efforts and are able to manage things way easier.
In the case of UiPath for instance, there is a huge community developing things in UiPath Go! There you can take a preset of Excel calculations without any effort.

I'm very new to pyhton so forgive me.
My question it how I can structure a file. For example I want to save multiple cooking recipes in a file. The program then should find the whole recipe with the ingerdients just by knowing its name.
I have tried to find answers in the internet but I seem not to find the right search term. So my question is just for what term do I have to google to find something that helps me?
You are looking to convert a text file into a dictionary. I would recommend using a JSON structure. See this page. If scope of your project is bigger than yourself using it, you would be better off using a database. Check out MongoDB.

I've got no experience in how to automate tasks in excel but here is my scenario. I have a CSV file which is uploaded to an FTP server every 4 hours from my distributor, in this feed there are around 50 different categories of products, i need to find a way to automatically remove categories i do not need and then for it to save the revised in FTP.
I am trying to import my suppliers products into my ecommerce store and do not want half of the categories that include in their feed. I've asked them directly about selecting certain categories but they said that's not possible.
Can what i ask be achieved?
You should look into Python's ability to read and write .csv files.
Check out these two links also:

Read specific columns from a csv file with csv module?
I think after informing yourself on how to automate tasks in excel, then you can ask better questions about the issues in your attempt to tackle the problem.

VBA solutions can vary widely in size.
I would like to add user help documentation to all solutions but the level of effort to create and deploy the help needs to match the size of the solution.
You should check the VBA version of MZ-Tools. It is an add-in for VBA that can automatically generate documentation from your code (function name, parameters, comments, subject, etc.). You can also use it to automatically generate line numbers, onError labels, etc. More on the automatic documenting feature can be found here.
It is free, easy, and very efficient. Once you notice how much you save time by using it, please do like me: donate.
You may wish to consider HTML Help. It allows you to produce help files that are similar to standard Microsoft help. It is not particularly difficult to use, for the most part.
