Why is Excel Often the Starting Point for SQL ?


Here's how Excel can help you before you dive into SQL:

✔️ 𝐕𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐔𝐏 = 𝐒𝐐𝐋 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐒
In Excel, we use VLOOKUP to bring together data from different sheets. It's just like using JOINS in SQL to get data from more than one table.

✔️ 𝐒𝐔𝐌 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐐𝐋 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
Excel's SUM and COUNT functions are like practice for SQL queries. They help you add up and count things, which is what you often do in SQL.

✔️ 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 & 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐐𝐋
Excel's 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 statements let you make choices with your data. This is similar to using WHERE in SQL to pick specific data.

✔️ 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭
Both Excel and SQL have ways to work with dates and text. Learning these in Excel first can make it easier when you switch to SQL.

✔️ 𝐏𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬 & 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏 𝐁𝐘 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐐𝐋
Ever used pivot tables in Excel? They're a good start for understanding the GROUP BY function in SQL, which helps you organize and summarize data.

✔️ 𝐗𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐔𝐏 & 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬
Excel's XLOOKUP and hyperlinks are like SQL's ways of finding and linking data. They give you a peek into how SQL finds and connects information.

Learning Excel first makes SQL easier to understand. It's not just about learning a tool, it's about getting ready for the bigger world of data!

You will be asked questions on SQL in interviews for sure! Make sure to practice 2-3 questions daily, it can't be mastered overnight!

Excel Interview Question & Anwers for Data Analytics Interview
[Part-1]


What is Excel and what are its primary uses?

Excel is a software program created by Microsoft that uses spreadsheets to organize numbers and data with formulas and functions. Its primary uses include creating spreadsheets, performing calculations, and making charts.

How do you open a new workbook in Excel?

To open a new workbook in Excel, you can either click on "File" in the menu, then select "New" and "Blank Workbook," or you can press "Ctrl + N" on your keyboard.

Explain the difference between a workbook and a worksheet.

A workbook is like a file that contains all your data and is made up of one or more worksheets. Worksheets are the individual pages within a workbook where you enter and manipulate data.

How do you navigate between different worksheets in Excel?

To move between different worksheets in Excel, you can click on the tabs at the bottom of the Excel window. Each tab represents a different worksheet.
