What kind of questions do companies ask in Data Analyst interviews (including Python, SQL, Power BI, and Excel)?

Question

I’m currently preparing for Data Analyst interviews, and I’d love to learn from your experience.

If anyone here has faced real data analyst interviews, could you please share:

1. The types of questions or tasks you were asked

2. Any SQL query or optimization questions

3. Python-based data analysis or Pandas/ Numpy tasks

4. Questions related to Power BI, Excel, or Statistics

Your inputs will really help me (and others) prepare better for upcoming interviews 🙏

Thank you so much in advance!
