PL-300: Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Advanced Course

The Power BI data analyst delivers actionable insights by leveraging available data and applying domain
expertise. The Power BI data analyst collaborates with key stakeholders across verticals to identify business
requirements, cleans and transforms the data, and then designs and builds data models by using Power BI. The
Power BI data analyst provides meaningful business value through easy-to-comprehend data visualizations,
enables others to perform self-service analytics, and deploys and configures solutions for consumption.
Candidates for this exam should be proficient using Power Query and writing expressions by using DAX.
