How to learn Data Preparation for free (Alteryx SparkED Program)

As a data analyst, you can spend up to 80% of your time working on data preparation tasks. These tasks include but are not limited to data gathering, data cleaning, and data transformation. Therefore if you want to break into data analytics it's a great idea to build learning this skill into your data analytics learning path.

Thankfully, Alteryx makes it very easy to learn. Alteryx is a data analytics platform that enables users to prepare, blend, and analyze data from various sources through a user-friendly interface, streamlining the data preparation and analysis process.

I think SQL is the most important tech skill for a Data Analyst to know. It allows you to find and manipulate data without waiting on an IT team or a Data Engineer to find and manipulate data for you. You can watch this video to learn more about why SQL is so important for a Data Analyst.  Below are my favorite FREE  SQL learning resources: SQL for Data Analysis | Free Courses | Udacity : This free course from Udacity covers everything a beginner Data Analyst should know. It covers SQL Basics (SELECT, FROM, WHERE), Joins, Aggregations, Data Cleaning, and Window Functions. It has a mix of video and written lectures along with quizzes to help you master the content.
