I still remember the day Excel almost broke me!😂

I had over 200,000 rows in a spreadsheet, trying to force it to do something it was never made for. Formulas kept breaking. The file kept freezing. What should've taken 2 minutes took me so many hours!

That's when it hit me, the problem wasn't Excel. The problem was ME using one tool for EVERY job.

Excel was my comfort zone, so I just... never left it. Big data, small data, one-time reports, weekly reports... all Excel, all the time. Until it stopped working for me.

Here's what I do now, and honestly, it changed everything:

If it's a small, quick, one-time thing, Excel gets the job done fast. No need to overcomplicate it!

If the data is huge or I need the same report to run reliably over and over, that's SQL's job. It's built for exactly that.

And if stakeholders need a dashboard they can click through and explore themselves Power BI all the way. It turns numbers into something people actually want to look at!

Most of my projects now use all three together: SQL to pull and clean the data, Excel for quick double-checks, Power BI for the final dashboard. Each tool doing what it's actually good at!

That frozen spreadsheet taught me something I wish I knew sooner, you don't need to be a master of ONE tool. You just need to know which tool fits the problem in front of you!

So if you're new to this and feel like you HAVE to be an SQL genius or an Excel wizard to be "good enough" you don't! Just learn what each tool is for, and let the problem guide you.

Curious ... is there a tool you leaned on too much early on before realizing there was a better way? Tell me in the comments! 👇

The Joy of being a self taught data analyst 😍

I'm currently working on a project.

While I was on it using Power BI, I stumbled on something that made me research to solve the problem .

It happened that while I was using the slicer, I couldn't get a drop down of month in the right order.

After many failed attempts, I figured it out!🥳.

To get a drop down of month in the right order, simply create a 'month' column using the "date" column, also create a 'month number' column using that same "date" column, then sort the month column by month number.

There you go!🤗

That's one of the reasons I love being a self taught data analyst.

I figured it out through research and of course I got new ideas while undergoing the research.

🛑TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE!

I remember when I used to say:

"One year is far" when I started serving as a corp member.

One year sounded like such a long time.

I thought there was enough time to figure things out, upgrade my skills, become better, achieve my goals, and prepare for the next chapter.

But look at me now…

Just 4 months remaining.

Four months!

It made me realize how quickly time moves when you're not paying attention.

That thing you said you would start “next month”

That skill you said you would learn “when you have time"

That goal you promised yourself you would achieve “before the end of the year"

Suddenly, the year is moving faster than you expected.

And maybe you're looking at your goals right now thinking:

“I've not done enough.”

But listen... it's not too late.

You still have time to become more intentional.

You still have time to learn that skill.

You still have time to start that project.

You still have time to take yourself seriously.

Don't spend the remaining months regretting what you didn't do in the first part of the year.

Start now.

Because four months from today, you'll either be proud that you started…

or wishing you had.

So, let me ask you:

Have you achieved the goals you set for yourself this year?

If the answer is no, don't beat yourself up.

Just ask yourself one question:

“What can I start doing differently today?”

You know what you have to do.

It's time to do it! ❤️

🛑I Almost Gave Up on Data Analysis...

When I first started learning data analysis, I thought it would be straightforward.

Learn Excel.
Learn SQL.
Learn Power BI.
Build a few projects.

Simple, right?

Wrong. 😂

I remember opening Excel to practice and staring at a dataset for what felt like forever.

I knew I was supposed to 'analyze' it…

But I didn't even know what question I was trying to answer.

I started learning formulas.

Then another formula.

Then another tutorial.

Then another YouTube video.

And somehow, after hours of "learning," I still couldn't confidently explain what the data was telling me.

That's when I realized something:

I wasn't struggling because I couldn't learn data analysis.

I was struggling because I was trying to consume knowledge instead of applying it.

So I changed my approach.

Instead of asking:

"What Excel formula should I learn today?"

I started asking:

"What problem can I solve with what I already know?"

I took simple datasets and started asking questions.

📊 Which product sold the most?

📈 How did sales change over time?

💰 Which category generated the most revenue?

👥 Which customers contributed the most?

Suddenly, Excel started making more sense.

The formulas weren't the goal anymore.

They became tools for answering questions.

And honestly, that's one of the biggest lessons I've learned on this journey:

Don't learn data analysis just to know data analysis. Learn it to solve problems!

You don't need to know everything before you start building projects.

Start with what you know.

Practice.

Make mistakes.

Get confused.

Try again.

That's how you grow.

And that's exactly what I'm doing... one dataset, one formula, and one project at a time.❤️

If you're also learning data analysis, what's the hardest part for you right now: Excel, SQL, Power BI, or simply knowing what to practice?
