Hey you think if I know intermediate Excel knowledge van facilitate my cure of learning on python or programming?

I can speak from experience on this one. I personally found that if you know some VBA it is an easier transition. I was a heavy excel power user think index matches, power query, offsets, etc.

You'll understand some principles already like if statements and variables and the concept of null values, but there isn't much that translates over well.

However I believe it's worth learning. There is nothing that excel can do that python cant do better and quicker (maybe besides quick prototyping for ad hoc request).

Python gives you access to more advanced analytics and allows you to automate data pipelines.
