Excel forces you to break down and structure your tables in a meaningful way. I find it much easier to spot errors in than a script personally.

I think how confident you feel with excel will depend of what you do with it and how you were taught to use it. Years of consulting basically drilled into me that all my tables should be built as if they were going to be delivered to a client who will need to understand them at some point. If you lack structure however, it quickly devolves into chaos.
