I just completed all the courses in datacamp for R programming. I am an accountant by trade and have decided to branch out into data analysis. I find that the programming in R lends itself to conversions from one software to another if you are able to extract and import using csv or txt files. R programming works in situations where the data file is too large to import into excel or if it takes too long to move around in excel because of the size. As an accountant I am able to understand the needs of the job and the importance of deadlines.
