I came to excel far after learning lots of programming languages, including those aimed at data analysis. The only thing that comes even close for my current Excel spreadsheets use cases would be Rshiny. Interactive responsive analysis of various scenarios, with traceable computation for a very wide audience, is far better via Excel than even Rshiny, which hides all the code. Starting with Excel is probably a great way to get to other tools. Especially when computations are straightforward and don't require the advanced stats libraries available in something like R.
