implementing analytics solutions.
3.2 Technical & Professional Development Goals
Beyond theoretical understanding, the internship focused on skill-building and
career readiness:
● Technical Goals:
o Improve proficiency in Python, especially libraries like Pandas,
NumPy, Matplotlib, and Seaborn.
o Strengthen SQL query writing for data extraction and transformation.
o Gain experience in using business intelligence tools such as Power BI
and Excel for creating dashboards and reports.
o Learn how to clean, process, and analyze real-world datasets.
● Professional Goals:
o Develop communication skills for presenting data insights to non-
technical stakeholders.
o Enhance time management by balancing multiple tasks and meeting
project deadlines.
10
o Work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment and participate
in regular progress discussions.
o Gain exposure to organizational culture, project planning, and client
interactions where applicable. Create professional dashboards for
data storytelling.
11
● Subqueries and GROUP BY clauses to summarize and structure data. This
allowed for deeper interaction with structured datasets stored in back-end
systems.
4.3 Excel
Microsoft Excel was another essential tool used for initial data checks and
basic reporting. Key tasks included:
● Using formulas for calculations (e.g., VLOOKUP, IF, SUMIFS).
● Removing duplicates and handling missing entries.
● Creating pivot tables for summarized insights.
● Developing basic charts and slicers for quick visual dashboards. Excel served
as a preliminary platform before data was moved to Python or Power BI.
4.4 Power BI / Tableau
Power BI was primarily used to create dynamic and interactive dashboards.
Key features utilized included:
● Designing visuals such as bar charts, pie charts, tree maps, and cards for
KPIs.
● Creating relationships between tables for unified reports.
● Using DAX functions to create calculated columns and measures.
● Filtering visuals using slicers and drill-through features. Tableau, while used
less frequently, was explored for its drag-and-drop interface and seamless
integration with Excel files.
4.5 Jupyter Notebook
Jupyter Notebook was the coding environment used to write, test, and
visualize Python scripts interactively. Its features allowed for:
● Code blocks with Markdown annotations for documenting processes.
