📚 Ebooks:

You Should Know:

1. Essential SQL Commands

-- Basic Query 
SELECT  FROM employees WHERE department = 'Data Science';

-- Aggregation 
SELECT department, AVG(salary) FROM employees GROUP BY department;

-- Join Tables 
SELECT e.name, d.department_name 
FROM employees e 
JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.id;

2. Python for Data Manipulation

import pandas as pd

Load data 
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')

Filter data 
filtered_data = df[df['salary'] > 50000]

Group by 
grouped_data = df.groupby('department')['salary'].mean()

3. Linux Commands for Data Processing

 View file content 
cat data.csv | head -n 10

Filter rows with grep 
grep "Data Science" employees.csv

Process CSV with awk 
awk -F ',' '{print $1, $3}' data.csv

4. Power BI & Tableau Commands

  • Power BI DAX Formula: 
    Total Sales = SUM(Sales[bash])
  • Tableau Calculated Field: 
    IF [bash] > 0 THEN "Profitable" ELSE "Loss" END

5. Machine Learning Basics (Scikit-Learn)

from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

Train model 
model = LinearRegression() 
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

Predict 
predictions = model.predict(X_test)

6. Windows PowerShell for Data Handling

 Import CSV 
Import-Csv "data.csv" | Where-Object { $_.Salary -gt 50000 }

Export to CSV 
Get-Process | Export-Csv "processes.csv"

What Undercode Say:

The journey to becoming a Data Analyst involves mastering multiple tools, from SQL to Python, and even Linux commands for efficient data wrangling. Key takeaways:
– SQL is foundational—practice joins, subqueries, and aggregations.
– Python (Pandas) is essential for advanced data manipulation.
– Linux (grep, awk, sed) helps in preprocessing large datasets.
– Power BI/Tableau are crucial for visualization.
– Machine Learning basics enhance analytical depth.

Expected Output: Structured, actionable insights from raw data using the above commands and techniques.
