People say that learning to code is a very useful skill. What does it mean exactly?
I can do data analysis and visualization in python and R. Does that mean I can code? Or does coding mean full stack developers?
Is coding a general umbrella term for all types of programming (including excel)?

It’s a very broad term when used in isolation like this. Consider a similar query:
***My toddler can say 10 words in English. Does that mean he can talk? Or does talking mean being fluent in Japanese?***

Yes.
> Or does coding mean full stack developers?
Yes.

It can be an umbrella term for instructing hardware or software what to do, using some sort of a code. If you type `**some bold text**` in a comment on Reddit, you have coded (you used the markdown code).
But in most contexts, it is being used more specifically (the context of course provides those specifics).
