Absolutely. Excel is a workhorse. It would be like asking if, since I got my bulldozer, do I ever still use a shovel. Yes. All the time. It has massive casual utility on a day-to-day basis. Add to that a lot of your business partners communicate information in Excel. When I was a young programmer I intentionally developed good excel skills because it was the idiom my customers knew. I felt like they would think less of me if I wasn’t competent on such a basic tool of business. And I think that instinct was correct. I look at someone in the corporate world who’s unable to sling a good spreadsheet as developmentally disabled. Like if you walked in saying you don’t know how to use a word processor. Spreadsheets are a way of exchanging data between humans in the same that word processors facilitate this, but for structured data sets. Time spent learning basic Excel functions (math stuff and xlookup for example) and how to build pivot tables will pay you dividends over the years.
