Businesses are drowning in numbers and starving for insight. The analyst's job is to find the pattern and explain it clearly. We start with data cleaning, because that is where most of the real work lives, then move through Excel analysis, SQL and Power BI.
You finish with a capstone: a real dataset, a proper analysis and a dashboard you present as if to a manager.
What you will build
- A cleaned and documented dataset
- A set of SQL queries answering business questions
- An interactive Power BI dashboard
- A capstone presentation of findings
