He was talking about avoiding manual weekly data copy-paste errors by writing code to do it in a predictable format.
I think you assumed that they meant the code would never have to be changed again, when they were actually talking about being able to standardize the data update process.
I don't think they said anything about never having to change the code, just that running a software process saves each user from manually pasting data every week.
I'll stick with bash-j's own words, where he bragged about running a python script "forever", and not your interpretation of his words. I'm also going to dismiss what you "think [I] assumed that they meant"
However, if you, or bash-j, believe Excel is incapable of avoiding manual data updates, that's simply not correct. Excel provides at least 3 ways of bypassing manual data entry in favor of automated imports from an external data source -- VBA code, ODC (not to be confused with ODBC) data connection definitions, and PowerQuery (I think that is the current name, haven't used it in a long time).
