Working with ArcMap through Excel

[szymagic]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this question.

Is there a way to call a python script through a module in Excel?

I have a macro (called Map) that updates a csv file that I later join and symbolize in ArcMap.

Is it possible to add more code into the Map macro so that ArcMap opens, refreshes the map with the new csv file join, and then exports a pdf of the map?

Sorry for potentially posting this in the wrong fourm!!

Thanks in advance!
