    “Don’t quit” is definitely one of the biggest pieces of advice for people wanting to break into the field. Took me a year and a half of that horrible trial and error learning, quitting, starting again, and networking to finally land my DA role, and I don’t regret a second of that journey.

      @@KyleWilliamsMusic1 I'm self-taught. From my experience, I would start with Microsoft Excel. Almost every company uses this to do their data analysis. Many people claim they know how to use it, but I beg to differ. There is so much to learn with MS Excel.
      Another important aspect is your analytical and communication skills. If you master these two skills, you will thrive in any workplace and potentially increase your earnings.
      If your starting out, don't be afraid to make mistakes, we ALL make mistakes. The important thing is to learn from those mistakes. Don't be frustrated at it though, try to chuckle at it and think back as to why something hasn't worked (problem solving).
      Just work hard and never give up! Life works out in the end if you stay patient and persistent!

      @@mindpower3922If I average it out, I'd say about 4 hours. Once I found a structured, supportive, and rigorous (beginner to advanced) training course, my training was more meaningful. I bought my own license for pbi, used real data sets, and set goals on what I could extract/ visualize. If I'd go back, I'd first get really good with excel. You'd be surprised how many companies value that. But I'm a ba, not a da. I do some etl, but very limited dev stuff. I'm more the stats and numbers guy that work with managers and stakeholders.

    Great video! And it appears I'm on the right track in terms of stuff to learn.
    I really like Enterprise DNA for learning Power BI - And if I remember correctly, their "stack" of software is almost the same as yours, except that they have a 5th system: PowerPoint - For effective communication of the analysis that you've done. And given how well PowerPoint and Power BI are now starting to integrate, I'm inclined to agree.
    But anyway, love what you've said and you have a new subscriber :)

    I agree, but after Excel I started PowerPivot+Power Query and then the whole PowerBI, that helped me transform multiple excell files and other data sources. That was much easier for me to start learning SQL after them and with the only functions i needed. Now I'm developing my SQL and DAX. Excel, PBI and SQL are easy to learn comparing to the power they offer while using together.

    great intro, I've dipped my toe into the subject and one thing I'll note is that Google sheets query function has a lot of SQL like syntax so for me at least that helped with the transition. also scripts inside of sheets is a pretty good Segway into coding languages like python from what I've experienced.

    I needed this video. I've been on the journey since the start of 2022 on becoming a Data Analyst. I would say that I'm extremely well in Excel, and I would rate myself as an intermediate in SQL (I actually enjoy using SQL). I'm actually a bit nervous about using python since I've attempted to learn using it in the past and it was just a tough language to learn. I know that a lot of jobs don't require it, but I also know that it is a preferred skill to use, and that it'll help with the job search faster. Once I'm really comfortable with SQL, Python will be my next move. Hopefully I'm able to land a job soon! I already have a couple portfolio projects done thanks to Alex and Coursera. Just needed something to kick me back into gear.

    As an experienced BA, agree with you with a stack for the beginners but with slightly higher weight towards Tableau vs BI tools because of its popularity amongst businesses, at least in UK. Obviously it doesn't matter so much at the end because if one can get a handle on any of these tools (visualisation tools), learning and switching to the other is not so problematic as picking up new programming language. On a side note, loved how you pronounced languages "Java" & "JavaScript" at 04:07 with that eastern "J" 😅.

    You are totally right. When i started serious working (22 years old) as a project leader in de pharm I discovered Excel and Access was my greatest tool to manage and track everything. I became very handy on it and I've been always asked for excel help in my jobs. Today I work as DA using SQL and Power Bi (that i learned on my job) and I see Python in my future. I love the fact that Dashboards are a mix between tech and creativity. Being able to think abstract and connect different kind of data that it doesn't look related is key too. Ik vond je video geweldig!
