I have just started learning Data Analysis concept. As I know it’s a low-code job where we only interact with data, work with tools like excel, power bi, python and sql.
Regarding python, how much knowledge I required for data analysis?
Basic or advanced, what type of knowledge needed if talked about python?
Apart from this, please tell a guidance on it and how much programming knowledge(related to python and sql) is required to work on any data analysis project?
Yes, basic to intermediate Python is enough for Data Analysis. Focus on fundamentals like loops, functions, and libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib. Along with that, learn SQL basics like SELECT, JOIN, and GROUP BY, and start with Excel before moving to Python for data cleaning and visualization.
Alright, Thanks for your reply.
In Python, File Handling, List, Tuple, Lambda, Filters, Map, Python PIP, Iterators, Pickling, JSON-- this concepts are essencial for data analysis?
Excel is used for Data Cleaning mainly, right?
VLookup, HLookup-- this formulas are also important to know in data analysis?
Those Python topics are useful, but you don’t need all of them deeply for starting data analysis. Basics of lists, functions, file handling, JSON, and using libraries like Pandas matter more than things like pickling or advanced iterators at the beginning.
Excel is indeed widely used for data cleaning, especially for small datasets.
And yes, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP (and now XLOOKUP) are important because matching data between tables is a very common task in data analysis.
