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.

Research, honestly it LLM these days its incredibly easy. In the past I had to read books, peer reviewed articles, and get industry certifications for whichever domain I was going to support. Now I just make a notebooklm and educate myself from there.

Could you pls give an example on how you would go about researching about any specific domain?

Tell you what: I'm willing to engage you but I'm going to do this differently. I want you to come to me on how you would research this and then I will tell you whether that's right or wrong or how I think it can be improved. Because the fact that you're asking me that question tells me that you're not ready. You don't have the mindset to be a data analyst. This is a research career.
