Some are downright riveting...

Many are just pamphlets, cheat sheets, or quick introductions - most don't go beyond introductions or very specific features they're trying to push. Some are tied to new books being published, like this and this.

So, your mileage may vary - they're not really technical books in the typical sense though. I'm also not sure why they say 'millions' when it's very obviously 404 downloads (based on the link /u/tommis posted). It seems misleading at the very least.

I have a different suggestion - try learning Power BI instead. It is the "next step" from Excel and has a lot of deep analytic and data transformation / automation functionality via Power Query and DAX. Tableau is an excellent (and more mainstream) option as well. Also, you may as well start slowly working on Python.

Definitely interested me with what you're saying. I'm unemployed but had some very basic analysis experience with Excel in my last role.

A few questions. Hope you don't mind answering. Didn't PM you in case others are interested in this.

  • What do you consider to be the essential material to study to get a strong understanding of these technologies? I found this. Would you consider that to be the sort of material to study to gain competence in this area? (As well as studying the blogs of Chris, Marco, and Alberto?)

  • What steps would you recommend a novice in data analysis do to quickly get a foot in the door? What positions / roles to look for specifically? What companies are big on hiring people competent in these technologies?

  • Can you accrue a "portfolio" using these skills outside of the workplace to get your foot in the door at a higher level? Or would you need to start at the bottom, provide insane value then jump ship?
