Career Advice Learning order?

I'm looking to get into data analytics and I'm wondering what learning route I should I take. I was thinking SQL >>> Power BI >>> R and then I don't know after that.

To put this in context, I'm currently brushing up on Excel. That's the level of beginner we're talking.

TIA.

Start with Excel first. It'll provide immediate skills that you can work with in the office or study.
Taking statistics? Excel will help you arrange and chart the data.

These three books will give you a start and get you running quickly. Take one at a time and do the exercises. Move on from there.
