Best Programming Scripting Language to automate Reports
Hello
I have many daily and weekly Technical Reports on my schedule
Most of these reports are repetitive and involve rearranging of excel data to generate reports in its final form
What do you think the best programing or scripting languages to use for this matter ?
I was thinking about using python,,which i heard it is great for that matter, but the idea is that i want to create portable installable tools for that to use it in more than one branch of the company.
Your ideas and experiences are appreciated

If you are on about scripting excel data inside excel then you really MUST be using Excel's built in VBA scripting.
I was thinking the same, yes vba is portable and is the one to use with excel.

also ,, my script/program should be able to reformat the excel file to the original format, and i don't want the script to be vulnerable to people's mistake, i.e cannot delete by mistake /change format,etc
I forgot to say that my reports will include generation of Graphs/pictures and including these in word

ALL of the above is achievable in excel/word using VBA. It will very much depend on your available Skills as to what you can do and how long it takes,

Neilsr should get the bulk of these points as he was the one that first stated the solution of using VBA. My answer was just in support of that.
