To give a little anecdote, my 600 person company probably has 200+ engineers (mostly electrical with some mechanical). I'd say that 1/5 has some programming skill in Python or C# and 1/10 probably is pretty decent and spends 5+ hours a week writing code. I'm fairly confident that all 200/200 are competent Excel users with most all spending 10+ hours a week doing spreadsheets mapping data together and analyzing it. Pandas is great, but if you don't need all the stats and the dataset fits in the spreadsheet, Excel beats it hands down in most uses.
