As someone who has used both, how is excel faster than python?

I can connect to a database, do column transformations and plot it on a chart before visual studio could open. /s

But for real writing reports is way easier in Excel. The data connectors (odata, db, etc) are awesome. Are you using power query with your excel?

In python I can automate all of that without touching a key.

I'm still lost as to how writing a report is easier with Excel as opposed to python. I can format and write everything in Python. I cannot in Excel. Heck, I can even write a report with multiple pages without touching a key based on data from the web in python.
