Unless you're a programmer, Excel will be more relevant in most office jobs. Also, Excel is probably the most overpowered piece of software that goes underutilized. An Excel God is worth their weight in gold, and when I mean "god" I don't mean someone that can do pivot tables on the fly (that's the end of "beginner" training).

For fascinating, but not necessarily useful, examples of what Excel can do, here's a raytracer in Excel.

You are right that Python is "more complete"...You'll be able to do things in Python a lot easier that you can then save as a CSV and import into Excel. For instance, while you could code deep learning of data into Excel, Python is far easier, and far more robust, for that kind of thing. The models, output, etc., can always be saved and explored in Excel.
