How is that much of an advance over what we currently do? If Excel isn't rendering data science jobs obsolete, then being able to tell the computer you need some sales figures isn't going to either.

To get rid of data science jobs, you would need the computer to be able to translate from business speak to generating code for all the things data scientists actually do, which probably involves something more than Excel. For starters, that would be cleaning and wrangling data into a format that a tool like Excel could be meaningfully used on.
