Use this methods to quickly edit your DataFrame with MS Excel.  
Of course, Pandas is a lot better than Excel, but if you have to change a lot of  arbitrary values which don't have a clear pattern,  a GUI is imho the best choice.

```python
pip install a-pandas-ex-excel-edit 
```

```python
    #Here is an example:

    import pandas as pd
    from a_pandas_ex_excel_edit import pd_add_excel_editor    

    #pd_add_excel_editor will add 2 new methods:  
    #pandas.Series.s_edit_in_excel
    #pandas.DataFrame.d_edit_in_excel
    pd_add_excel_editor()   

    dframe = pd.read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pandas-dev/pandas/main/doc/data/titanic.csv")
    #Let's add a row with lists, a tough data type to handle
    dframe['list_in_columns'] = [[[1]*10]] * len(dframe)
