I'm quite familiar with SQL. It's got its use cases.

Excel with DAX, webquery, power pivot, and its full suite of functionality is a faster way to accomplish a lot. With the tools at hand to make visuals, and even live dashboards.

Sure, you CAN do it all with python, or heck, C if you're patient enough. Just like you can drive a car without tires if you can fashion a round thing to replace them with out of rocks.

Right tool for the job saves you time though.

Don't worry, it's Excel from the high seas.
