To start learning data analytics, begin by understanding the basics of data and its types, followed by learning tools like Excel for data manipulation. Progress to programming languages like Python or R, focusing on libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib for data analysis and visualization. Learn SQL for querying databases and understand fundamental statistical concepts for analyzing trends. Explore platforms like Google Analytics or Tableau for practical, hands-on experience with real-world datasets. As you build your skills, practice regularly with projects, participate in online courses, and stay updated with industry trends.

First, understand the basics of data types, statistics, and Excel or Google Sheets. Then, learn SQL to manage and analyze databases. Next, study data visualization using tools like Tableau or Power BI. After that, learn Python or R for deeper analysis and automation. Practice with real datasets from platforms like Kaggle. Finally, build projects, explore case studies, and improve problem-solving skills. Keep learning from online courses, books, and hands-on experience.

Thanks for breaking it down so clearly, Ton. I’m just starting and was feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the tools and topics out there. Starting with Excel and SQL sounds manageable. Do you think it’s better to learn Python alongside SQL, or should I get comfortable with one before moving on?
