Please can you recommend any book or video to learn excel for someone without prior knowledge to it

Ejiod:

Where is the error coming from and how’s your data like?.. can you make use of seaborn?
I'm trying to compare the number of confirmed cases in the US, and Nigeria. The data is in 2D array. The error is with the dates, trying to figure it out. Seaborn? I'm currently learning it on datacamp. I don't mind if you could put me through with seaborn. I appreciate your efforts.

My battery lasted up to 4hrs then, before I spoilt it. Now, it works with light grin
How did you spoil it? So that I'll take caution too.

Apologies sir, Ejiod.

Chukwudaalu:
I've been working on the data I downloaded through the link you posted. I had to extract, and rearrange the needed data on Excel, then load the data using Pandas on python. But I'm currently stuck on visualizing the data with a chart using matplotlib. Been getting errors since, not giving up though. I successfully did the analysis on Excel. But I am currently working on analyzing it using matplotlib too.
I'm actually working on some other programming projects outside Data Science, reason for the delay. Thanks bro.

You could have used pandas for cleaning the data, it does it like magic... Matplotlib sucks for visualization, I used plotly for that, the only problem I'm having is saving my figures since it doesn't work like matplot and seaborn...

If you want to see my solution, I can drop the ipynb file in your mail.

DAY 1: GET DATA

Task one was to pull the data directly online rather than downloading.
Some using jupyter notebook I already have it on the ipynb which you can always rerun.Also the excel file of the data. The data is dirty which needs to be clean


To get online data use this,

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import pandas as pd
s = requests.Session()
s.headers = {'user-agent': 'Corona'}
page = s.get('https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/')
data = pd.read_html(page.text)[0]
data.to_excel('Corona.xlsx')


Will continue tomorrow.

Every Data tells a story. Here's mine. From the excel file here, I was able to create a simple dashboard in Excel using pivot charts and pivot tables.

Covid-19 started in China. Right now though, they have the highest number of recovered cases in the World and they're currently not even in the top ten countries list with current active cases....Let me not type much. Let the dashboard speak for itself.

No skill is actually a waste sha. Some years ago, out of boredom, I started using Mavis Beacon typing tutor to whirl away time anytime I had nothing doing. I became so good and very fast with typing without looking at the keyboard overtime.
Learning to use Python for data analysis would have been more difficult for me if my typing skill was whack. I'm glad I learnt to type smiley

For Data Science you can start with this

For Data Analysis with Excel, search for “Excelisfun” on YouTube, go through the playlists.

So many driven contributors. Cool.

Anyone on here taking up challenges on Kaggle?

I did Titanic and House Prices, but the one I can defend wella is Titanic. Doing it really exposed me to Data Wrangling and Feature Engineering. I looked up on different notebooks and downloaded videos from YouTube to help me with it.

I'm trying to answer no 1 without complicating it for you. You can search Edureka's 9hrs video on Machine Learning, they did a good job there. If you can, please try Kaggle. You will see lots of Jupyter notebooks you can look at to guide you through. Google tutorials on the use of jupyter notebook, Dataquest did justice to that.........https://www.dataquest.io/blog/jupyter-notebook-tutorial/ When you feel you are ready to practice, pick up Titanic competition on Kaggle. There are so many notebooks that will guide you through.
NB: Kaggle can get overwhelming. You may feel lost being there, but continue anyway.
