• I started with Microsoft Excel. Excel is more than a spreadsheet. It helped me to think outside the box due to its flexibility and also improved my problem-solving skills.
• I transitioned into Power BI with my skills in Excel. I didn't struggle to learn Power BI because of my strong Excel skills. It doesn't mean you need Excel to start Power BI but it helps.
• I picked up new skills in SQL. SQL is one of the key skills every analyst must possess. Very powerful and easy to learn.
• I learned a bit of R and Python but finally settled on Python. These are fantastic tools. Just pick one and build a strong foundation. You can easily make a switch when the need arises.
• I learned how to tell story and visualize data. Data visualization is a leadership skill every Analyst must master. You will get the opportunity to influence and lead your audience through your visualization.
• I learned how to create and share business insights using PowerPoint. Almost 90% of my work ends up in a PowerPoint presentation. This may vary depending on the organization.
I believe this may help you as you begin your journey into Data Science and Analytics
