I use Excel quite a bit managing my business. I'm glad I know how to noodle around in Excel.
I do not believe I have ever used Excel or Excel skills while working on SQL. I sense a bit of a language barrier here, but that is essentially a specific example of what Tim already told you. I hope it is helpful.
The short answer to the question I think you meant to ask is: "NO."

I ask for career advice to work as a SQL pro. Do you never use Excel? Is Excel skills not useful for SQL pro?
Excel is an output option for data in Oracle DB. That's the connection.

Is the Excel exam (Microsoft Office Specialist - MOS) useful for getting a junior SQL pro job? What do you think?
