I'm sure there are places that use it more than we do. I have only used it very sporadically, the vast majority of my time is spent in Excel or in SAP/Essbase/Hyperion. Excel is really the most important by far though. If you are good at Excel you'll be able to handle pretty much anything that comes your way as a CF analyst.
If you want to learn something extra that is useful, try learning SQL or VBA. Being good at excel and able to create custom macros and queries is nice.
I agree, that Excel is going to be the most important. You will probably use SAP often, and depending on the job you may use Essbase/HFM some as well.
With that said, I've recently learned the power of MS Access. Is it necessary? No. But it gives you the chance to get things a little more "automated and connected" than in Excel.
SQL was helpful during my internship at a corp. fin. But Access is not at all neccessary.
