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.

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.

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.

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

Is it possible to fill the web form by bringing the data from excel in chrome extension?
i have an url with some numbers, example http://www.desipearl.com/tracker/544258/371/ASD-Collection-736151299754834/57/smp/
the number 544258 will keep an increased by one number, according the number change the article get changed
The above mentioned url is available in excel database,
i want to post the first url number 544258 then after some interval i want to post 544259 , this keeps on going on constant interval
Can we achieve the above mentioned function by chrome extension
It might be easier to do this via python. I'd use the openpyxl module from python which is documented here. Then I'd go through each number in the spreadsheet and use the requests module to get the page using a GET request as documented here.
With a chrome extension you could do this. The general steps would be to load the excel file. Then process it to get a list of numbers and then make a GET request using those numbers from chrome.

I am creating an application where each user will have his own workspace which will consist of some text files. He will be editing and saving these files excessively.
I want to implement a version control system for each user to keep track of his work and revert back and forth to any previous version if he wants to.
I would also like users be able to fork into each others workspace to copy the content to their own workspace just like in plnkr.co, make changes and commit easily.
My stack is node.js and angular.js
Where should I start, to implement it. I guess there should some way to use git or some other open source project. Does anybody have any idea what plunker is using?
Super late response, but for anyone stumbling across this, try checking out git=annex
We used this at one of my old jobs for keeping track of fMRI datasets. It's best used for large data though, so one may want to find something similar but perhaps better aligned for what they need.

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.
