LogoutA data analyst is a person with the expertise and skills to transform raw data sets into information and insights that can be utilized to make business choices.
A data analyst collects, processes, and executes statistical analyses on a large dataset. They learn how to use data to find solutions to problems and solve issues.
Data analysis has changed due to the development of computers and an ever-increasing tendency toward technological intertwinement. The introduction of the relational database breathed new life into data analysts, allowing them to extract data from databases using SQL (pronounced “sequel” or “s-q-l”).
Analytics brings together theory and practice to uncover and communicate data-driven insights that aid managers, stakeholders, and leaders in making better business decisions.
Data analysts who have worked for a while consider their work in a broader context, both within their firm and in light of external factors.
When presenting data-based recommendations to stakeholders, analysts can also consider the competitive landscape, internal and external interests of the company, and the lack of specific data sets.
