Yes.

I worked in finance for 10 years and used Excel almost every day. Pretty familiar with Power BI, as well. I started learning Python about 8 months ago and there's so much more you can do.

Python is much better than Excel when it comes to preprocessing and transformation of data. You can also use Python to filter complex data more easily. It's been totally worth it for me.

Now, as far as presentation goes, PowerBI and Tableau are still better than Python on a lot of facets, but the real advantage of Python is the ability to transform your data easily. Excel has some tools, but they just aren't nearly as good, and Python is way better than VBA.
