if a spreadsheet jockey job asks for this, the bar is really low. if you know how to write a for loop and use if/if else/and/then/or/etc. logic, you'll be fine.

This is why I’m teaching my kid to code as soon as he’s like 5 years old, in the next few decades being unable to do basic coding is going to put someone at the same social disadvantage as being illiterate

Software will have the same impact written language had when it was first conceived, it allows every worker to be much more productive, the same way people who couldn't read and write could never dream of owning a factory people who can't read and write software will only be trade workers, which is actually a respectable line of work nowadays, wagie jobs, umployment and "the arts"

No, it was mostly mostly picture/video editing, and excel. This is way different and it's relatively new within the marketing field

Because marketing lags behind, you could've known all this shit 10 years ago. It trickles down from R&D to consulting to engineering to accounting and marketing.
