Data Analytics Pattern Identification....;;

Trend Analysis: Examining data over time to identify upward or downward trends.

Seasonal Patterns: Identifying recurring patterns or trends based on seasons or specific time periods

Correlation: Understanding relationships between variables and how changes in one may affect another.

Outlier Detection: Identifying data points that deviate significantly from the overall pattern.

Clustering: Grouping similar data points together to find natural patterns within the data.

Classification: Categorizing data into predefined classes or groups based on certain features.

Regression Analysis: Predicting a dependent variable based on the values of independent variables.

Frequency Distribution: Analyzing the distribution of values within a dataset.

Pattern Recognition: Identifying recurring structures or shapes within the data.

Text Analysis: Extracting insights from unstructured text data through techniques like sentiment analysis or topic modeling.

These patterns help organizations make informed decisions, optimize processes, and gain a deeper understanding of their data.

1. What are the ways to detect outliers?

Outliers are detected using two methods:

Box Plot Method: According to this method, the value is considered an outlier if it exceeds or falls below 1.5*IQR (interquartile range), that is, if it lies above the top quartile (Q3) or below the bottom quartile (Q1).

Standard Deviation Method: According to this method, an outlier is defined as a value that is greater or lower than the mean ยฑ (3*standard deviation).


2. What is a Recursive Stored Procedure?

A stored procedure that calls itself until a boundary condition is reached, is called a recursive stored procedure. This recursive function helps the programmers to deploy the same set of code several times as and when required.


3. What is the shortcut to add a filter to a table in EXCEL?

The filter mechanism is used when you want to display only specific data from the entire dataset. By doing so, there is no change being made to the data. The shortcut to add a filter to a table is Ctrl+Shift+L.

4. What is DAX in Power BI?

DAX stands for Data Analysis Expressions. It's a collection of functions, operators, and constants used in formulas to calculate and return values. In other words, it helps you create new info from data you already have.

Here's a step-by-step guide for the same:

Step 1๏ธโƒฃ - Download a practice dataset. I'd recommend the Codebasics resume project challenge dataset (as it contains multi-table datasets).

Step 2๏ธโƒฃ - Open your preferred RDBMS tool (SQL server/MySQL). Create a local database to load the dataset.

Step 3๏ธโƒฃ - Import the practice dataset (.xlsx/.csv) into this database by creating the tables (please google if you need help).

Step 4๏ธโƒฃ - Now open Power BI desktop and connect to the local database using the appropriate connector.

Step 5๏ธโƒฃ - Build the dashboard using the questions shared in the resume project challenge.

Step 6๏ธโƒฃ - Now, you can validate the output of your dashboard by writing SQL queries.

Step 7๏ธโƒฃ - Try to write an SQL query for a question asked in the challenge. You need to convert a natural language question into an SQL query.

Step 8๏ธโƒฃ - Compare the query output with the dashboard output and check if the numbers are matching. If they aren't matching, either the query is wrong or the dashboard numbers are wrong. Hence, try to identify the gap.

Step 9๏ธโƒฃ - Repeat the process for every question asked in the challenge.

Thus, you will learn and practice both SQL and Power BI simultaneously.

This will help you weed out any mistakes that you have applied in your report/dashboard logic.

Data Analyst Interview Questions ๐Ÿ‘‡

1.How to create filters in Power BI?

Filters are an integral part of Power BI reports. They are used to slice and dice the data as per the dimensions we want. Filters are created in a couple of ways.

Using Slicers: A slicer is a visual under Visualization Pane. This can be added to the design view to filter our reports. When a slicer is added to the design view, it requires a field to be added to it. For example- Slicer can be added for Country fields. Then the data can be filtered based on countries.
Using Filter Pane: The Power BI team has added a filter pane to the reports, which is a single space where we can add different fields as filters. And these fields can be added depending on whether you want to filter only one visual(Visual level filter), or all the visuals in the report page(Page level filters), or applicable to all the pages of the report(report level filters)


2.How to sort data in Power BI?

Sorting is available in multiple formats. In the data view, a common sorting option of alphabetical order is there. Apart from that, we have the option of Sort by column, where one can sort a column based on another column. The sorting option is available in visuals as well. Sort by ascending and descending option by the fields and measure present in the visual is also available.


3.How to convert pdf to excel?

Open the PDF document you want to convert in XLSX format in Acrobat DC.
Go to the right pane and click on the โ€œExport PDFโ€ option.
Choose spreadsheet as the Export format.
Select โ€œMicrosoft Excel Workbook.โ€
Now click โ€œExport.โ€
Download the converted file or share it.


4. How to enable macros in excel?

Click the file tab and then click โ€œOptions.โ€
A dialog box will appear. In the โ€œExcel Optionsโ€ dialog box, click on the โ€œTrust Centerโ€ and then โ€œTrust Center Settings.โ€
Go to the โ€œMacro Settingsโ€ and select โ€œenable all macros.โ€
Click OK to apply the macro settings.
