At my old job, we had a VBA script that would:

  1. Pull company data from SQL
  2. Load data into an Excel file
  3. Update charts and KPIs
  4. Copy/Paste chart and KPIs into PowerPoint
  5. Switch to the next client
  6. Repeat all steps

Thirty page custom reports per client within 2 minutes (when nothing broke). It allows you to interact and automate across the Microsoft Suite. That is one of the reasons why it is indispensable to many companies
