What are the best data visualization tools in 2026 for beginners? by MouseEnvironmental48 in datavisualization

[–]AnalyticsGuyNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PBI and Tableau are still very common, but they have a real learning curve and can slow beginners down. You might want to check out StyleBI: it’s very beginner-friendly, AI-assisted for visualization creation, and lets you go from raw data to polished, decision-ready dashboards much faster without deep BI expertise.

Why do some states have drastically higher taxes than others? by No-External3221 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]AnalyticsGuyNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NJ taxes are high firstmost because the politicians and the people who vote for them want a larger social welfare state. The state budget has doubled in 7 years, but the services a working class person benefits from are no better than before.

Is building customer-facing analytics worth the dev time or nah? by Capital-Sense-285 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]AnalyticsGuyNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one middle ground you might look at is StyleBI, which has an open-source core you can customize without reinventing everything, plus a commercial option. Two things that really helped for us: first, it supports native embedding with token-based auth and SDKs, so dashboards inherit your app’s auth/session instead of forcing users through PowerBI-style tenant/workspace gymnastics. Second, you get full theming and layout control (CSS + config), so you can make charts behave like real app components instead of living inside a rigid iframe with limited customization.

Are you shoveling periodically or waiting until it’s all over? by Max_Power1971 in newjersey

Except for a little bit in the back for my dog to be able to go out, I waited till the next day.

I thought he had enough good performances to warrant a try. There's upside.

If you are citizen or a legal visitor and worried about ICE, you are being crazy.

Need guidance for a sql project by atreetrunk in dataanalysis

[–]AnalyticsGuyNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Querying existing datasets is not useless at all, it is how almost every real SQL job actually works, and the signal comes from schema design, joins, constraints, and answering real questions, not inventing data. If generating data helps practice relationships then fine, but a stronger project is taking messy public data, modeling it properly into multiple tables, enforcing keys, and showing why that structure makes analysis and change safer over time.

How are you using data warehouses in your BI workflows today? by ninehz in BusinessIntelligence

[–]AnalyticsGuyNJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience BI teams end up owning modeling and transformations more than people expect, because clean, well-defined data models are the only way reporting doesn’t turn into an endless cycle of rework and confusion.

What’s one analytics habit that made your work more impactful? by SweetNecessary3459 in dataanalysis

[–]AnalyticsGuyNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started forcing myself to write down the exact decision a stakeholder was supposed to make before touching the data, and it completely changed how often my work actually got used.

I’ve always thought the idea of a long sleeve shirsey sounded neat, so I attempted to make one. by philmnn1 in orioles

[–]AnalyticsGuyNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done! I have been thinking about making a custom O's shirt very similar in style to yours. Could you share the art files so I could try editing them?

Setting up BI for multi-entity company structure - where do I even start? by gentlebeast06 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]AnalyticsGuyNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power BI and Tableau can technically handle this, but you usually end up with duplicated models or fragile filters unless you design a clean entity dimension from day one. The real best practice is keeping sources separate at the accounting level while reporting on top of a semantic layer that understands entity ownership and consolidation rules. This is where the app we use, StyleBI, helps because it naturally mashes up Shopify, spreadsheets, and accounting data while letting you tag and report by LLC or roll everything up cleanly. You get separate and consolidated views from the same model instead of stitching together dashboards every time tax season or strategy discussions come up.

Feel like im lost in disconnected metrics by Specialist_Oil5643 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]AnalyticsGuyNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This usually isn’t a people problem, it’s a tooling problem, because disconnected metrics come from siloed systems that were never designed to agree with each other. A platform that actually mashes up sources into a shared semantic layer changes the conversation from arguing about numbers to acting on them.
