if you want to become a data analyst
there are several essential skills you
need to master let's type in and check
them out one by
one being a data analyst is all about
analyzing data to help make Better
Business decisions you'll need to get
good at various skills from math and
programming to data handling and
visualization let's jump in first up you
need a solid foundation in mathematics
and statistics this is crucial because
data analysis relies heavily on these
principles focus on understanding basic
concepts like mean median standard
deviation probability and hypothesis
testing spend about a month or two
getting comfortable with these topics
next you need to get really good at
Excel Excel is a powerful tool for data
analysis and many companies still rely
on it learn how to use functions pivot
tables and charts spend about 2 to 3
weeks mastering Excel as it's a
fundamental skill for any data analyst
after Excel you should get comfortable
with SQL SQL stands for structured query
language it's a simple language we use
for managing and querying databases
learn how to write queries to access

git that's a Version Control System we
use to track changes to our code and
collaborate with others git has a ton of
features but you don't need to learn all
of them think of it like the 8020 rule
80% of the time you use 20% of GS
features so one to two weeks of practice
is enough to get up and running by the
way to help you on this journey I've
created a free supplementary PDF that
breaks down the specific Concepts you
need to learn for each skill it's a
great resource to review your progress
