Excel is still the global command center of finance. Excel Volatility & Options Lab shows you how to transform it into a full-scale quantitative engine. This book takes you beyond spreadsheets and into an integrated workflow where Excel, Python, and real market data combine to produce professional-grade volatility surfaces, options pricing models, Greeks dashboards, and automated risk monitors.
You'll learn how to construct implied vol surfaces in Excel, build dynamic hedging calculators, run Monte Carlo scenarios, visualize intraday vol behavior, and design fast option-pricing engines that plug directly into your sheets. Every chapter focuses on practical, production-ready builds, not templates, so you can deploy real trading tools used by quants, analysts, and risk teams.
If you want to bridge the gap between spreadsheet fluency and full quant capability, this lab manual becomes essential. It turns Excel into a volatility workstation and gives you the tools to build models that actually move with the market.
