You can learn anything in 4 months but not necessarily to the level where you're as effective as required.

Programming is 99% defining the problem and designing a solution, and 1% tapping your keyboard. Perhaps your problem is to learn enough programming to create a proof of concept of whatever you're wanting to eventually build as a real product.

Before you set off on your journey, it would be wise to look at your competition in the same space. I'd say your greatest threat is likely to be existing business intelligence tools that allow the users to write their own complex queries that reach into various real-time and batched data sets and surface them as beautiful widgets and dashboards, which they can then share internally or externally through security policies. Some even have an element of artificial intelligence to try and find patterns and correlations that would be valuable to a business.
