Hehe, learning how to use Pivot Tables should replace a huge amount of Python uses. I say that as a huge advocate for Python!

Of course, this really comes down to using the right tool for the job. Python should be used for automating batch processes, and using Excel manually should be used for data exploration. Jumping into automation before you know exactly what you want is premature, and doing something manually over and over again is wasting time. Us programmers sometimes reach for code writing and automation before we’re actually ready, and waste time writing the wrong code. (I am guilty of this.)
