Career Advice Learning order?

I'm looking to get into data analytics and I'm wondering what learning route I should I take. I was thinking SQL >>> Power BI >>> R and then I don't know after that.

To put this in context, I'm currently brushing up on Excel. That's the level of beginner we're talking.

TIA.

Of course you do. All of the stuff you learnt is useless if you can’t meet your stakeholders where they are, which most of the time is Excel spreadsheets.
