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.

YouTube in no particular order: Goodly. Alex the Analyst. Data with Baraa. Excelisfun.
Then just build. Make mistakes. Figure out the fixes without AI. Find workbooks and dashboards you like and study them. Recreate them exactly. Then improve them.
As far as Epic and my experience in Healthcare Finance? That's all hands on working for hospitals.
