Instagram User Analytics Project

I just completed my first project and my next project is this Instagram data analytics. But this project requires knowledge of MySQL and iam currently on the data analytics fundamentals course, so how can i attempt this project? I can access the MYSQL contents , but i thought the courses are to be done in the order that they are; for eg: 1. data analytics fundamental then MS Excel and then MYSQL. So does this mean that the learning videos are to be seen depending upon the projects that we have to solve. And if thats the case then please provide some guidance as to how many number of videos from a particular series do we have to watch in order to attempt the project. please clear my doubt
