Not dissing excel, it’s fantastic, depending on your shop there are plenty of scenarios it doesn’t fit. Windows only, this can be a big one. Deployment and auth difficulties when having connections to custom data sources. Customizing visualization. Displaying side-by-side with some other data. Excel isn’t free either, unless you are already fully invested in it. Your shop has better skills in js than vbscript.
