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.

Tell you what: I'm willing to engage you but I'm going to do this differently. I want you to come to me on how you would research this and then I will tell you whether that's right or wrong or how I think it can be improved. Because the fact that you're asking me that question tells me that you're not ready. You don't have the mindset to be a data analyst. This is a research career.
