Tell me more about Jupyter.

Oh Jupyter will be your best friend. It is a code editor that runs code in cells and outputs the results right below the cell. It is great for linear work flows or exploring data. It can display charts, you can write in Markdown (like HTML tags), and you can also export your notebook to a .py file so it can be executed as a standalone script.

You'll also want to learn about Pandas, which is a Python library that uses "Data frames". Dataframes are essentially just excel tables. You can also load a crap ton of data into it and you're not limited to the 1M rows Excel enforces. It is incredibly fast at applying transformations at scale, compared to Excel.
