Hi, I'm Lydia๐
I'm a Junior Data Analyst documenting my learning journey by building in public.
I just completed a Call Center Performance Dashboard in Microsoft Excel.

Random thought: how would a poultry farmer know if the farm is actually doing well? ๐๐
Itโs not just about eggs sold. Youโd need to track production, bad eggs, feed costs, sales, revenue and profit.
My analyst brain couldnโt leave this alone
This post made me think ๐ค
Selling more products doesnโt automatically mean making more profit.
It got me thinking about the difference between sales, revenue and profitโand how important it is to look beyond just the number of products sold.
Data tells the bigger story. ๐
Random business question I thought about today:
What data would a restaurant analyse before deciding to open another branch?
Sales? Customer locations? Foot traffic? Competition? Location accessibility?
Iโm curious about how data actually influences a decision like this. ๐ค๐
Random data question I thought about today:
If a museum has 100 visitors, and some came alone while others came in groups of 5, how should we measure attendance?
Do we count the groups or the individuals?
And what happens when someone visits more than once? ๐ค๐
Random question Iโve been thinking about as I commute:
How do we accurately measure the number of vehicles that use a road daily?
If the same car passes twice, do we count it twice, or are we measuring unique vehicles?
How do we avoid counting the same car twice? ๐ค๐
Data analysis can really make you question yourself. ๐
You clean the data, finish a chart and suddenly wonder, โDid I actually do this right?โ
As my data mentor, @DabereNnamani says: โIf youโre confused, youโre doing the right thing.โ
So keep going. Youโll figure it out. ๐
Happy New Month & Happy New Week! ๐ธ
One thing Iโm learning:
Data visualization isnโt just about choosing the right charts.
If your data isnโt properly cleaned and analyzed, you could end up telling the wrong story.
Every chart is only as good as the data behind it. ๐
One thing Iโve genuinely never been 100% sure aboutโฆ.
Whatโs the difference between a dashboard and a report page?
Should a dashboard be just one page, or can it have multiple pages?
Iโd love to learn from those whoโve been in the field longer. ๐

One of my biggest takeaways from #TDITechSummit2.0 was:
Build in Public.
I'm sharing my projects, learning from feedback and improving one project at a time.
Thank you @TDataImmersed@DabereNnamani for the reminder to build in public.๐
