Data Nerds! I just launched a FREE 5-Day Crash Course on Becoming a Data Analyst! 🤓
Breaking into data can feel overwhelming—too many skills, too many paths, and the classic “How do I get experience without a job?” dilemma. 😵💫
That’s why I built this step-by-step course to cut through the noise and get you job-ready, fast. Each day, we tackle a key challenge on your path to becoming a Data Analyst:
😨 Day 1 - Overcoming the Biggest Fears About Breaking Into Data
🧑💻 Day 2 - What Data Analysts Actually Do (And Common Myths)
🛠 Day 3 - The First Technical Skills You MUST Learn
🧠 Day 4 - 3 Secrets to Accelerate Your Learning
🗺️ Day 5 - My 3-Step Roadmap to Stand Out With Employers
It's completely free and sent straight to your inbox—because getting started in data shouldn't feel like guesswork.

Data Nerds! Poll results are in, and the next course is:
🥉 Excel for Data Analytics (😳 …let me explain)
Python and Power BI both beat out Excel, so why are @KellyjAdamz and I ignoring this?
----------------------------
📈 Reason # 1: Tool Demand
Here are the top skills demanded of Data Analysts according to job postings:
1️⃣ SQL (47%)
2️⃣ Excel (33%)
3️⃣ Python (31%)
4️⃣ Tableau (24%)
5️⃣ Power BI (20%)
Coincidently, my SQL and Python courses have performed proportionally to these percentages
Additionally, the job market is demanding Excel over these other skills, and… “the market always wins”
---------------------------------
🧠 Reason # 2: Learning Journey
When it comes to learning tools to become a Data Analyst, I’d recommend this general order:
SQL and Excel ➡️ Power BI or Tableau ➡️ Python or R
SQL and Excel are staples of any Data Analyst role, along with being relatively easy to learn (compared to programming languages)
So why are visualization tools before programming languages?
You can learn Power BI/Tableau in a weekend (at least I did); Python/R takes weeks, if not months, just to get the basics, so knock out the easier tool first.
---------------------------------------
🧮 Reason # 3: Statistical Significance
So, Luke, you’re ignoring the poll results…
Well… not really
There is only a 200 vote difference (<2%) between the top 3 tools
Based on the amount of votes and the difference in the votes, the results are not statistically significant (p-value: .206)
---------------------------------------
P.S. I used ChatGPT to combine the YT and LinkedIn polls by providing pictures of the poll results (it also calculated the p-value);
Curious about how I’ve done this? Check out my ChatGPT course.
