I am sharpening my matplotlib skills and I am almost done, if I can use powerBI and tableau to visualize do I still need to learn seaborn?
Re: Chronicle Of A Data Scientist/analyst by Toppytek(m): 2:18pm On Apr 18, 2020
Yesterday I tried plotting a barchart with Matplotlib and Seaborn but the x axis was somehow squeezed so I decided to load the dataset into Power Bi, I tried to Group the Country/Region column but it’s affecting other columns.

Possibility is 15% but you your skillsets on data science can set u aside and boost it to 50%. You just need constant practice with data. Infact be grounded on SQL, TABLEAU or power BI.
What data analytics tool would you recommend for everyone to learn regardless of career?

Can it be learnt while working?

Excel,
SQL,
Tableau or Power BI



Python if you wanna go deep on data manipulation and machine learning modeling


Finally you can learn it while working

Seaborn is built on top of matplotlib. If you will be using python, then you need seaborn. PowerBI and tableau are squarely for visualizations or dashboards. There's little programming involved in those ones.

Thank you.

I can clean my data with panda, arrange and do other stuffs then visualize it on Power Bi or tableau?

What of if one decides to start with SQL and tableau(I mean for a beginner who's just learning programming)

Would that be okay?

I'm so glad I stumbled on this thread this morning, couldn't put my phone down till I got to the last page.
Mr Ejiod, thank you for taking the initiative to create this thread, I've learnt a lot from you and the other contributors too. May your knowledge never run dry.
I've been clueless about what to do with my life for a while now, after service na 30k job I dey see, been learning Python for about 2 weeks now and I have an idea of what to do next.
I have a lot of studying and practicing to do. Thank you guys for your contributions.
Let me go and buy chair so I can move in on this thread : grin

Did I hear there’s little programming involved...??
There is o.
PowerBI has DAX
Tableau has inbuilt calculations that needs to be tweaked.

The beauty of this is you understanding the concept of programming.

Yes it is but add Excel too.
It’s very important

Re: Chronicle Of A Data Scientist/analyst by Toppytek(m):
Tried plotting graph with Seaborn but it wasn’t successful I guess there was a problem somewhere, so with the help of @mcemmy0z I was able to save the new dataset in CSV format then I did the visualization with Power Bi. I believe there’s still much to learn as far as Data Science and Machine Learning is concerned.

Nice one however on Standard practice it’s not advisable representing a view on pie chart if you have categorical variables with more than 5 dimensions.

I just finished learning Excel and I am looking for data set to analyse. Can you please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Those are not full-fledged programming languages. You can't compare that to Javascript or Java. Or even R, which doesn't even compare to the two. You can practically build the whole of Tableau with Java.

Yes, or you can clean with Java or R. Tableau is a strong visualization tool, definitely more powerful than R for the same job.
I like the way you can use Tableau to create visualization stories.

Ok!

Is there anything like ""Python for data science" or we need to learn it from scratch.

Also, which model of learning would you advise: self or paid training?

Sir I didn’t say programming language. I only refer to programming/logic involved in running advanced computations.

Pls I'm having issues using map visualization on power bi.. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong bcus other visualizations apart from map displays whenever I drag data into it
