    Hi Alex, I have what may be a dumb questions, but i'll ask it anyway! I am a 45 year old mum of two living in the UK, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer 10 years ago and who hasn't worked for 10 years. Long story short i'm still not dead and don't plan to be any time soon contrary to what I was told, sooooo.......I will be returning to work this year and hopefully thanks to your amazing channel going back as a Data Analyst (I was previously an IT Project Manager in to financial services (a pretty clueless one at that)).
    My strategy for completeness is to watch all your videos through once (check), then once more making notes to embed (just finished the excel series), then to go through them all and do the practical aspect and practice the skills, then get online certifications in these areas and then volunteer to work for free for a month or so in any local organisations who may need someone to tidy up their data etc to get some practical in house experience and then go through the interview job searching aspect. So firstly thank you so much for giving me hope there is an after children career for me that I can grow and build on over the next 20 years of employability.
    So after my long preamble to show you what kinds of different lives of the people you are reaching out to. Is there a reason there is not intermediate or advanced video's for Excel in the toolkit?
    Thank you in advance for your reply and again, thank you very much for you kindness of spirit and generosity as I could never afford to pay for these courses myself and would therefore still be stumped and scratching around for bit's and bob's here and there.
    Fabienne

    Hey Alex, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I began actively pursuing my job search in Data Analysis around 5-6 months ago. I just completed my first round of a 2 round interview for my first analyst role. Your series has helped me not only showcase my use of SQL in a portfolio, but you've also helped me make the transition from Google Sheets to MS Excel. Through it all, I'm well on my way to start my first data job and you've helped me more than any resource I utilized during my journey. I wish you nothing but success as you continue your CZcams journey.

As much as I would like to pay for your Analyst Builder course online, money is very tight right now, so I will be starting with your free offerings on CZcams to at least have a good foundation.

But at the end of the day, the skills, project building, and networking will get you a job not a certificate.

    Thanks Alex for this tutorial! Something I have been having a hard time with is using the calculated field function in a pivot table for more advanced calculations. Is it possible to use functions (such as IF statements) in the calculated field? Are there specific limitations you are aware of in pivot tables? Thanks!

      @candylici0us117 Před rokem

      i know this is super late, but i believe you could create a new column in your original data set using your IF statement, and then from there using that new column in the pivot table. i think it would depend on your desired outcome/data if this would work or not!

    Hi Alex, I completed the Google Data Analytics certificate to start off like you recommended and I'm going through your tutorial videos to get an even greater understanding of all these concepts. the way you present information is incredible and has helped me a lot! Speaking from all the way from the Caribbean. I'm hoping to transition into this field soon by refining skills, building a portfolio and reaching out to a mentor. I was wondering though, because I'm not based in the US, are remote data analyst jobs available or would I need to do more freelancing to work with companies there ?

      I think trying to work through a contracting company is a great idea - freelancing is possible, but can be challenging to get your own clients.
