If your focus is data visualization, then you need to learn how to use the tools that can help you analyze data and showcase insights in compelling ways. There are lots of tools out there. In our consultancy and in our training, we focus on four: Microsoft Excel, Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, and Python.

Why these products? Excel is everywhere, and it's often the first tool people use for data analysis and visualization, and it's powerful but not the best for data visualization. Microsoft Power BI is a good data visualization that organizations with Office 365 have easy access to for creating better data visualizations. Tableau is, in our opinion, the best and most powerful data visualization tool available and offers both wide and deep analysis capabilities, as well as rich data visualization and data storytelling capabilities. Some have the option to choose the tool they work with, while others must use the tool their organization has available, which is why we focus on these three tools.

You can see more about data analysis, how it can help your career and your organization, and how to start your data science journey on our Data Analysis and Visualization for Career Growth page.
