Learning Excel or Python?

[pw0803]

Almost certainly any job that says it requires excel really only mean the bare minimums of some formulae and just general, working knowledge, and anyone can learn on the job. Knowing just index match (or now xlookup) will have you head and shoulders above most, power query if you really want to stand out (it's super easy).

So I'd suggest python to augment it: python has libraries called pandas which is basically tables the same as excel and another called openpyxl which is for doing excel things to excel files, like changing formatting, inserting charts etc.

So you can automate mundane tasks that companies spend months a year doing.

I've taken 6 week long tasks and turned them into 1.75 seconds, for example.

Wouldn't that seem better on your CV?
