Business Analytics — frequently asked questions

Do I need to code to work in business analytics?
No. Most commercial analytics roles run on Excel, SQL and a BI tool such as Power BI or Tableau. Coding helps at scale, but structured thinking and clean data handling matter more early on.
What makes a dashboard useful?
A dashboard is useful when every tile maps to a decision an owner can take this week. Anything else is decoration.
