It feels like many people are learning SQL these days. Are there fundamental situations where Excel still remains a better analysis tool?
I'm not talking about the ability to add charts or quickly paste in data. It's more about are there types of analysis that's better done in a grid-like, cell-based interface than querying tables?
Wondering if us Excel power users have a place in the age of data warehouses and Snowflake.
I'll throw in one example. If we're calculating the total addressable market of an industry with lots of drivers (pricing x volume by segment), it feels like Excel is better.
