For people learning data analytics:
What was the hardest thing for you to understand when you first started?
Excel, SQL, Power BI, or something else? π
I'm still learning too, so I'd love to hear what helped you.
Beginner data analytics tip:
Don't try to learn Excel, SQL and Power BI all at once.
Get comfortable with one, practice with real data, then move to the next.
I'm learning this the same way, one step at a time. ππ»
@DataSecChron Appreciate that! ππ½ Iβm definitely trying to focus on actually applying what I learn instead of just collecting skills. What would you recommend a beginner build as their first real data analytics project?
I'm currently learning more about data analytics, and I'm starting with the basics:
π Excel
ποΈ SQL
π Power BI
π€ AI
There's still a lot to learn, but I'm documenting the journey as I go. π»
@Data_girrl Congrats on 1.3k! π Iβm also getting deeper into data and AI, so itβs great connecting with people on a similar journey. Hereβs to more growth! π€π½
One thing I'm learning about data analytics:
Excel helps you work with the data, SQL helps you query it, and Power BI helps you turn it into something people can understand.
Still learning, but I'm starting to see how the pieces connect. ππ»
One thing Iβm realizing while learning data analytics:
Knowing Excel is one thing, but actually knowing what to do with the data is a completely different skill.
Iβm starting to understand why Excel, SQL and Power BI work so well together. π
What should a beginner learn after Excel? π
I'm getting deeper into data analytics and currently starting with Excel.
I'm thinking Excel β SQL β Power BI β AI, but I'm still figuring out the best learning path.
What would you recommend?
@officialladi_T I'd say SQL is a good next step. I'm currently learning Excel, SQL and Power BI myself, and SQL seems like a really useful skill for working with larger datasets. ππ»
@genedangusp@CelticsAdam34 π I feel you. I'm actually getting into data analytics myself right now, especially Excel, SQL and Power BI. It sounds way more interesting than I expected tbh. ππ»
@_Populair I'm not in the career yet, but I'm currently learning data analytics myself Excel, SQL and Power BI. I'm interested in connecting with others on the same journey too. ππ»
@rk74ud I think it can be, especially if you enjoy working with data and solving problems. I'm currently learning Excel, SQL and Power BI myself, so I'm interested in seeing where the skills can take me. ππ»
@officialladi_T Yes, definitely. I think 6 weeks is enough to build a solid foundation if you practice consistently. I'm starting my own Power BI journey too, so I'm interested in seeing how far I can get in that time. π
I'm getting deeper into digital skills and AI.
I'm particularly interested in data analytics, Excel, SQL, Power BI and how AI is changing the way we work with data.
I'll be sharing what I learn along the way. π»
