Eg : SELECT employee, SUM(bonus) FROM emp_bonus GROUP BY employee HAVING SUM(bonus) > 5000; 💡 In Short :  WHERE = "Which rows should I include in the group?" HAVING = "Which groups should I keep after aggregation?"

SQL (Structured Query Language) is essential for a Business Analyst because it bridges the gap between business understanding and data-driven decision-making and it allows you to access, analyze and validate business data without depending entirely on technology teams. Here are few main reasons : 💡 Key Reasons  💡 Data Access: Business analysts often need data from databases.

SQL functions like SUM(), COUNT(), AVG(), and GROUP BY help summarize data Reporting & Dashboards: SQL powers BI tools (like Power BI, Tableau) by providing clean, structured datasets. Root Cause Analysis: When issues arise, SQL helps trace data inconsistencies or process bottlenecks. SQL Topics Busine...
