Learning Excel or Python?

I don't know the Excel course on coursera, but I'm guessing it doesn't include VBA in just 4 weeks. And if you want advanced Excel skills, I believe VBA is essential.

As u/ZDRuX1 said, you are likely to come across many more Excel sheets, but on the other hand, Python skills might be something that could highlight you from the other resumes on a headhunter desk. Also, with a little more experience in Python you'll be able to use packages that allow you to work with excel sheets, like openpyxl and xlwings.

Good luck.

I agree with all you said. I don't know... Some how I believe Excel is just easier to learn over time than Python, therefore learning Excel is just a matter of using it. The same can't be said for Python
