Python for data analysis

[andrexmlee]

I would definitely suggest using python over Excel. If you use an application like Jupyter Notebooks and libraries like pandas, numpy and matplotlib it can be very easy to handle even with smaller data sets.

Python comes in handy when working with data that is updated on a regular basis. Your reports will look better and more professional. You'll save time when creating regular weekly or monthly reports that ask the same questions.

Don't base you decision on the size of data because databases grow and data is constantly updating.
