If it has a concept of data sources and can digest them, sure.
Anecdotally, most issues with Excel at my job are caused by data sources being renamed, moved or reformatted, by broken logins, or by insufficient access rights.

Or surgeons don't operate after hours.
Software developer is a job with really weird expectations from outsiders. Show me your GitHub! Show me your side projects! You can't be good if you are not passionate even after a day's work!
Devs must have high IQs, have autistic traits, a university degree, master algorithms and several programming paradigms and are expected to simultaneously be able to integrate well in any team with average people, while science already identified that this is more difficult for such people...
I don't know man, my parents are surgeons and they're just as much vocateurs as I am. I have come home from football to see a surgical video on the TV. I cannot imagine being something else. Why would I not care about my primary thing? My wife is a creative director and she draws and paints in her spare time.
There's all kinds of people in the world and I like to work with vocateurs. That's an opt-in choice and others can go work with others. No harm done.
