What is a Data Analyst? • A Data Analyst is a professional who collects, processes, and analyzes data to help organizations make informed decisions. Their main goal is to turn raw data into meaningful insights. This involves: • Collecting data: from various sources like databases, surveys, web traffic, sales, etc. • Cleaning and preparing data: making sure the data is accurate and ready for analysis. • Analyzing data: using statistical techniques, tools like Excel, SQL, Python, or R, and visualization tools like Tableau or Power BI. • Interpreting results: identifying patterns, trends, and correlations. • Communicating findings: creating reports and visual dashboards to present insights to stakeholders and decision-makers.
