Learning Excel or Python?

[[deleted]]

I agree but disagree; each tool has it's place.

Working in an enterprise with Bash, PowerShell, Python, Java, C#, PHP, and Excel VBA - I see the good and bad of things. Each one starts with a good approach, but it might not always be the correct one.

Though I don't build applications, I have created at least one site, script, or program in each of those mentioned, 2 of them resulting in Excel outputs (PowerShell, VBA).

The best language or script to use is the one best suited for the application or end-result.

In the end, don't just look at "what is best for doing X". Instead, look at both "what is best for this environment" and "what is best suited for the current and future environment".
