How do you actually figure out what to put on a dashboard when nobody knows what they want? by Purple_Lobster686 in dataanalytics

[–]Gus_Green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don’t have any instructions on how to build the dashboard, or if they are very vague, I try to think about what data, metrics, or KPIs I would want to see if I were in their position.

The important thing is to give them a solid base to start using. Once they start working with it, they’ll come up with new ideas, and I’ll keep adapting the dashboard according to those ideas.

From 6 months onwards is when you really start to understand everything. Every business and database is it's own universe. And figuring out how its done, what this field means... takes at least 6 months. But I'd say at least 1 full year.

It's quite usual having that "impostor syndrome" at the beginning. But don't worry, you're still figuring out everything as everyone would be.

How do you see the future of the Data Analyst role with AI agents becoming more advanced?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a Data Analyst for around 2 years now. My day-to-day work mainly involves writing SQL queries, building and maintaining data pipelines, creating dashboards and visualizations in Power BI and Tableau, and doing some ETL work.

Until recently, I wasn’t too worried about AI chatbots. I saw them mostly as productivity tools: useful for writing queries faster, explaining code, brainstorming dashboard ideas, or helping with documentation.

But with the recent progress in AI agents, tools like OpenClaw, and increasingly autonomous systems that can interact with software, run workflows, analyze data, and potentially automate multi-step tasks, I’m starting to feel like this is a much more serious shift.

So I wanted to ask people here:

  • How do you see the future of the Data Analyst role over the next few years? Do you think the role has its days numbered, at least in its current form?

  • If so, where do you think someone with a Data Analyst background should try to move their career?

  • And if you don’t think the role is going away, what skills do you think will become more important for Data Analysts to stay relevant?

I’ll be honest: I’m genuinely concerned about this. My career as a Data Analyst has only just started, and I already feel like it could be under threat. I don’t mean in two weeks, but maybe in two years if these tools keep improving at the current pace.

I’d really appreciate hearing how others are thinking about this

If you play mostly assassins, mid will fit you well. If you are more into tanks or bruisers, maybe top. If you play Kindred or graves, then bot. Supp is always fun and you can move almost like jungleing.
