I have been dreaming of becoming a data analyst since the day my church planned a love feast and hundreds of members promised different delicacies of food, we collated the whole raw data and as the secretary, i used my lay man excel knowledge to sort and interpret what we should expect on the D day, and my Pastor was blown away by my presentation because he asked if I have taken courses on data analytics. I am thrilled by your video, its such a huge blessing.

Hi Wale! Just found your channel and subscribed planning to transition from insurance adjuster to data analyst and your channel is very informative. Thank you!

[yatanupadhyaya]

My man, your videos have quality. It makes people wanna watch it. This channel needs to grow. There isn't a lot of content when it comes to data analysis with this type of quality behind it.

Thank you Wale. Such a helpful video. I was feeling overwhelmed. You dumbed it down so well

[graygem]

Thank you so incredibly much for this! I wandered into a job as an analyst with a liberal arts background and have been flailing around madly trying to figure out what to know and a good order to learn it. This tells me PRECISELY what I want. I can't tell you how relieved I am to have found this excellent guide. Thank you so much, I'm excited to get to your other videos!

[sylvesterfosu]

The fact of the issue is I feel like you are speaking to me directly. I read statistics in sch and found myself in the oil and Gas industry 15yrs ago. It's no more challenging , with covid, I have 2 weeks free and was looking for something challenging. I think Data analyst should be my next thing . Thank you, so much

[rebeccaogu]

This is the best video I have come across, very simple and on point. Thank you
