one word for someone who can make sense out of numbers or data [closed]

I have to describe someone with a quality that he can read the story behind the numbers or data given to him. I didn't want to use Analyst. let me know if there is another word for it

Solution 1:

I would describe the person to whom you refer as numerate, and having good numeracy skills.

You mention a person who can read the story behind numbers or data, which is a different ability to that of a mathematician.

I was an accountant for most of my main career. I don't think I do any disservice to my colleagues by saying that accountants usually regard themselves as numerate as opposed to mathematical, in that their strength is in being able to interpret the significance of a set of figures, beyond the figures themselves.

Of course many people with Maths degrees, go on to study accountancy, and have the benefit of being both mathematical and numerate.
