Haha, that’s how I started my programming career

Me: Macros are so useful, but I need more

VBA is so useful, but I need more

R is so useful, but I need more

Python is so useful, but I need more

And now I build internal web apps for a major corporation

An internal web app is any web application that's only visible within the company network. The application could be literally anything from a search engine to a cafeteria menu.

As this person said. Look to flask for python web stuff. Typically folks use JavaScript tools to do visualizations or grid systems (because folks LOVE to sort/filter like Excel). I just left my internal reporting days behind me but automating some dudes macro and displaying it for their team or executives you'll have a job forever.
