Python vs Excel vs SQL vs Power BI | Which Tool Solves It Fastest?

Four experts. Four tools. One winner… 🏆 In this video, Maven Analytics instructors Aaron Parry, Enrique Ruiz, John Pauler, and Chris Bruehl battle it out with their favorite tools to earn the title of Data Drill Champion. Excel. Power BI. SQL. Python. Who will come out on top? For Data Drill #7: “Turning Bullish”, we’ve provided a dataset containing daily closing prices for the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) over the last 5 years. The task at hand is to calculate the 50-day and 200-day moving averages of the closing price and identify every “Golden Cross” — when the short-term average (50-day) crosses from below to above the long-term average (200-day), signaling a potential bull market. Each expert will be on the clock as they solve the drill, and the best solution takes the crown.
