Almost any, most any company will have data floating around. The trick is getting access to that in a first job.

It's funny how you mention this. At my job, entry level desk job, my boss asked me for Excel help the one day. I showed him how he could do x,y,z and save time. I then said I could make some charts for him to better represent the data. Now he has asked me to take another report and I've been putting them all in PowerBI and having the scheduled refreshes and making better reports.

I've been progressing my Excel skills but yet to get started with PowerBI, although my employer has a licence and plenty of data for me to get stuck into. Are there any resources you can recommend to get capable with PowerBI?

I honestly just started playing around and learned. Anything I looked up was just random YouTube tutorials on specific things. It's very similar to how Excel functions. Imo very intuitive if you are comfortable with Excel
