Junior data analyst work with clients and colleagues to find relevant data, generate enough material for analysis and prepare flowcharts and visualizations for presentation. Writing clear reports and creating effective visualizations for various members of a company at different levels of seniority is a core part of a data analyst’s routine work, in which the findings of the data analysis must be presented in an accessible and unambiguous way. Taking part in meetings and presentations to convey the findings is also a regular feature of data analyst jobs.
Data collection from literally hundreds of different sources forms a major part of a data analyst’s daily work. The analyst must then use his or her initiative to interpret the raw data and identify any patterns in it, interpretations which might be included in a presentation or report.
To begin analyzing data, data analysts must be able to render it visible. Compiling Excel spreadsheets, Power BI models and using DAX, M or SQL queries constitute another routine part of the work, as will coding and re-coding data contained within various databases to identify patterns.
Use of visualizations and storytelling with data is a core function of the position. Relying on the mentorship and input of senior analysts and business leads is critical to success.
