Just Getting Started is A Challenge
I’m currently doing a job simulation through Forage to understand data. The problem that stops me often is the lack of software capabilities.
This job task uses Tableau for data visualization. I had to download a zipped folder and upload it to Tableau. The issues: it wasn’t in the correct format and I’ve never used Tableau before.
I tried to convert to another file type then upload. But I have no idea how Tableau works so I decided to try my luck with Excel. Ran into some data conversion issues (something related to the schema on the original file). So now the data is even a more complete mess.
I’m trying to pivot into data analytics but it’s frustrating to even work on the data when you have to have a lot of data tools (some of which aren’t free) to even do the work.
I feel lost. Has anyone ever experience difficulty starting out in data analytics?
Maybe I’m the problem lol.
