I live in Excel. This video was basic. I was hoping for more sophisticated instruction. But from reading the comments, it’s clear I need to learn a data analysis language.
What would you recommend? Python?
- two_handfuls 3y agoI think Python and Julia are popular for this purpose, Python much more so. You will probably want to use one of the “notebook” environments that make your Python easier to use interactively and display graphs and the like. Jupiter is the one I know but there are others too.
- lathiat 3y agoR is another area worth looking at.
- pjmlp 3y agoWhat about PowerBI stuff, lambda and M language? I would also be that guy and recommend SQL.
- LegitShady 3y agoPowerBI also has the ability to do some custom R widgets I think, although I’ve never played with that in particular.
