What is the PL-300 Certification Exam?
The PL-300 Certification Exam focuses on evaluating your
proficiency in tasks such as:
[ Identifying business requirementsQ
[ Data cleansing and transformationQ
[ Constructing data modelsQ
[ Providing actionable insightsQ
[ Facilitating self-service analytics for othersQ
[ Deploying solutions for consumption through Power BI
This certification is designed to assess your capabilities as a
Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Associate.

This learning path aims to guide you through the exam structure,
offer recommendations, and provide resources to help you
successfully prepare for and obtain the certification.

Exam Components
The exam assesses these competencies through four distinct
functional components:
+ Prepare the Data (15–20%): This involves acquiring data from
diverse sources and performing tasks such as cleaning,
transforming, and loading data to ensure its readiness for
analysis.
+ Model the Data (30–35%): This component focuses on
designing and creating data models, executing model
calculations using DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), and
optimizing model performance for efficient analysis.
+ Visualize and Analyze the Data (30–35%): Here, the emphasis
is on creating reports and dashboards, enhancing them for
improved usability and storytelling, and identifying patterns
and trends within the data.
+ Deploy and Maintain Assets (10–15%): The final component
involves managing files and datasets, as well as overseeing
workspaces to ensure the effective deployment and
maintenance of Power BI assets.
