🚀 Excel vs SQL vs Python (Pandas):

1️⃣ Filtering Data
↳ Excel: =FILTER(A2:D100, B2:B100>50) (Excel 365 users)
↳ SQL: SELECT * FROM table WHERE column > 50;
↳ Python: df_filtered = df[df['column'] > 50]

2️⃣ Sorting Data
↳ Excel: Data → Sort (or =SORT(A2:A100, 1, TRUE))
↳ SQL: SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY column ASC;
↳ Python: df_sorted = df.sort_values(by="column")

3️⃣ Counting Rows
↳ Excel: =COUNTA(A:A)
↳ SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table;
↳ Python: row_count = len(df)

4️⃣ Removing Duplicates
↳ Excel: Data → Remove Duplicates
↳ SQL: SELECT DISTINCT * FROM table;
↳ Python: df_unique = df.drop_duplicates()

5️⃣ Joining Tables
↳ Excel: Power Query → Merge Queries (or VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP)
↳ SQL: SELECT * FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.id;
↳ Python: df_merged = pd.merge(df1, df2, on="id")

6️⃣ Ranking Data
↳ Excel: =RANK.EQ(A2, $A$2:$A$100)
↳ SQL: SELECT column, RANK() OVER (ORDER BY column DESC) AS rank FROM table;
↳ Python: df["rank"] = df["column"].rank(method="min", ascending=False)

7️⃣ Moving Average Calculation
↳ Excel: =AVERAGE(B2:B4) (manually for rolling window)
↳ SQL: SELECT date, AVG(value) OVER (ORDER BY date ROWS BETWEEN 2 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS moving_avg FROM table;
↳ Python: df["moving_avg"] = df["value"].rolling(window=3).mean()

8️⃣ Running Total
↳ Excel: =SUM($B$2:B2) (drag down)
↳ SQL: SELECT date, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY date) AS running_total FROM table;
↳ Python: df["running_total"] = df["value"].cumsum()

📘 SQL Challenges for Data Analytics – With Explanation 🧠

(Beginner ➡️ Advanced)

1️⃣ Select Specific Columns

SELECT name, email FROM users;

This fetches only the name and email columns from the users table.

✔️ Used when you don’t want all columns from a table.


2️⃣ Filter Records with WHERE

SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 30;

The WHERE clause filters rows where age is greater than 30.

✔️ Used for applying conditions on data.


3️⃣ ORDER BY Clause

SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY registered_at DESC;

Sorts all users based on registered_at in descending order.
✔️ Helpful to get latest data first.


4️⃣ Aggregate Functions (COUNT, AVG)

SELECT COUNT(*) AS total_users, AVG(age) AS avg_age FROM users;

Explanation:
- COUNT(*) counts total rows (users).
- AVG(age) calculates the average age.
✔️ Used for quick stats from tables.


5️⃣ GROUP BY Usage

SELECT city, COUNT(*) AS user_count FROM users GROUP BY city;

Groups data by city and counts users in each group.

✔️ Use when you want grouped summaries.


6️⃣ JOIN Tables

SELECT users.name, orders.amount  
FROM users  
JOIN orders ON users.id = orders.user_id;

Fetches user names along with order amounts by joining users and orders on matching IDs.
✔️ Essential when combining data from multiple tables.


7️⃣ Use of HAVING

SELECT city, COUNT(*) AS total  
FROM users  
GROUP BY city  
HAVING COUNT(*) > 5;

Like WHERE, but used with aggregates. This filters cities with more than 5 users.
✔️ **Use HAVING after GROUP BY.**


8️⃣ Subqueries

SELECT * FROM users  
WHERE salary > (SELECT AVG(salary) FROM users);

Finds users whose salary is above the average. The subquery calculates the average salary first.

✔️ Nested queries for dynamic filtering9️⃣ CASE Statementnt**

SELECT name,  
  CASE  
    WHEN age < 18 THEN 'Teen'  
    WHEN age <= 40 THEN 'Adult'  
    ELSE 'Senior'  
  END AS age_group  
FROM users;

Adds a new column that classifies users into categories based on age.
✔️ Powerful for conditional logic.

🔟 Window Functions (Advanced)

SELECT name, city, score,  
  RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY city ORDER BY score DESC) AS rank  
FROM users;

Ranks users by score *within each city*.

How do you start AI and ML ?

Where do you go to learn these skills? What courses are the best?

There’s no best answer🥺. Everyone’s path will be different. Some people learn better with books, others learn better through videos.

What’s more important than how you start is why you start.

Start with why.

Why do you want to learn these skills?
Do you want to make money?
Do you want to build things?
Do you want to make a difference?
Again, no right reason. All are valid in their own way.

Start with why because having a why is more important than how. Having a why means when it gets hard and it will get hard, you’ve got something to turn to. Something to remind you why you started.

Got a why? Good. Time for some hard skills.

I can only recommend what I’ve tried every week new course lauch better than others its difficult to recommend any course

You can completed courses from (in order):

Treehouse / youtube( free) - Introduction to Python

Udacity - Deep Learning & AI Nanodegree

fast.ai - Part 1and Part 2

They’re all world class. I’m a visual learner. I learn better seeing things being done/explained to me on. So all of these courses reflect that.

If you’re an absolute beginner, start with some introductory Python courses and when you’re a bit more confident, move into data science, machine learning and AI.

Mathematical Foundations For Deep Learning

Roadmap To Learn Machine Learning ✨

Three different learning styles in machine learning algorithms:

1. Supervised Learning

Input data is called training data and has a known label or result such as spam/not-spam or a stock price at a time.

A model is prepared through a training process in which it is required to make predictions and is corrected when those predictions are wrong. The training process continues until the model achieves a desired level of accuracy on the training data.

Example problems are classification and regression.

Example algorithms include: Logistic Regression and the Back Propagation Neural Network.

2. Unsupervised Learning

Input data is not labeled and does not have a known result.

A model is prepared by deducing structures present in the input data. This may be to extract general rules. It may be through a mathematical process to systematically reduce redundancy, or it may be to organize data by similarity.

Example problems are clustering, dimensionality reduction and association rule learning.

Example algorithms include: the Apriori algorithm and K-Means.

3. Semi-Supervised Learning

Input data is a mixture of labeled and unlabelled examples.

There is a desired prediction problem but the model must learn the structures to organize the data as well as make predictions.

Example problems are classification and regression.

Example algorithms are extensions to other flexible methods that make assumptions about how to model the unlabeled data.
