Is excel still worth learning now?

[u/AliveandDrive]

Been wanting to sharpen my excel skills since I can only do super basic formulas. I was thinking of learning and improving my excel skills more, but I read a number of articles online saying excel's days are numbered. Power Bi, Tableau, Python, etc. are all frequently brought up,

How true is it and does this mean one should not learn excel anymore?

1000%, new hires at my office are expected to have advanced excel (ie power query, not just lookups and pivots) in addition to SQL or advanced tools like Alteryx, Tableau, etc. In today’s advancing technology we have to have multiple computer skills.
