Let's be real - why would you use anything but excel for this?


Not dissing excel, it’s fantastic, depending on your shop there are plenty of scenarios it doesn’t fit. Windows only, this can be a big one. Deployment and auth difficulties when having connections to custom data sources. Customizing visualization. Displaying side-by-side with some other data. Excel isn’t free either, unless you are already fully invested in it. Your shop has better skills in js than vbscript.
