How can you become a data analyst in 2024, where there is no need for coding, programming, and experience, and can expect a minimum salary of 6 lakh annually? If you belong to a non-IT field, then you can come to IT and get a job as a Data Analyst. But what is a roadmap for that? What is the procedure? All these things are going to be understood in detail in this Article. So let’s start.

Who is a Data Analyst and What does a Data Analyst do?

Data Analyst, as the name suggests, analyzes data. But what kind of data? Generally, it is business-level data. When a Data Analyst is given business-level data, he takes out some information from it, which is very useful for the company. Otherwise, it is very difficult to get that information. He presents that information in this way to the top management, owners, or decision makers of that company so that they understand what is going on in that company’s department or the overall company. And they can make some decisions that can improve the performance of the company and some activities which are hampering the performance of the company, they can stop those activities. 

That’s why for the exponential growth of a company, whatever things are there in the company whether it is sales, purchases or internal things of the government is important. It is important to capture the data and not only capture but also analyze it. This is more important than that. So this is the role of a Data Analyst. Now you must be getting the importance of it.

Exp: Suppose we talk about one grocery store and the other one is Walmart. Both of them sell groceries. You have seen that the grocery store in our streets run by a small-time farmer is never able to become a franchise model, a big grocery store. It has been in the same store for 20-30 years. He is running his household income from it. But why can’t he make it big? The biggest reason for that is that they never capture the data. 

The people who come to their shop to buy goods, what is the price of the goods, what kind of customer is coming, what kind of stubbornness do the children have when they come to their shop, what kind of things do they buy, what are the things that they look at first, there are many such things. Based on such things, when this data is collected, which is done by Walmart, Big Bazaar, and Reliance, when these people collect this data, they can keep the right product there, which increases their sales by 4-5 times. 

So, this is the difference where data is not analyzed and captured, and on the other hand, where data is captured and analyzed. Here, growth is very important. So, you have understood what a data analyst is and what he does.

What skills are required for a Data Analyst?

Now the question is, how much data is there in general? Now this is not the data of a small shop, which will have 500,000 transactions in a month. It’s about companies and companies have data of lakhs and crores. And it’s very difficult to analyze small things. Generally, Lala Ji sits with a pen and paper to collect data. But you can’t do this on data of lakhs and crores. 

That’s why you need a specialized tool. And in today’s market, the most in-demand tool is Microsoft Power BI. Now, why is it in demand? we’ll tell you the reason. Because it doesn’t require any coding programming. Only then, a person from any company or department can learn and use this tool in a month or two. All the things are available in its interface. You just have to drag and drop. Yes, the formula is also used in it. But over time you learn all those things. And based on this, you make such amazing reports from such raw data. The reports that the top management or client sees, or the decision maker, then it is clear that in this particular region where we are selling, there is a mistake. Or why is the return coming so much here? What is the reason? They know all these things. These are my 5000 employees, why are these 100 employees underperforming? Or why are those 50 employees overperforming? 

So all these things, based on data, based on that dashboard, things are clear. The best part is as we have told you, there is no need for programming or coding. Within 1 to 2 months, you can easily learn this tool(For this you can join Digiperform’s Data Analytics Online Course). If you are working somewhere, you can learn this tool. So that is the best part about the Microsoft Power BI tool

The recruiter is mainly concerned with the knowledge of the tool which is Power BI, based on which you will analyze the data in their company.
