You'll have to learn the language if you want to do anything meaningful with it.
Python isn't anything like excel formula's, it is a full general multipurpose
programming language.  If you make a mistake, it usually is almost impossible to deduce
what you meant to write instead. (because otherwise we wouldn't have to program our
computers anymore and instead let them figure out automatically what we wanted to do,
right? Just joking)

Because you are comparing it to excel formulas: are you sure you've chosen the right
tool for whatever the task is that you wanted to solve?
If so: may I suggest first working through the Python tutorial.
