The Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Certification Guide give a very sober and detailed introduction to the Power BI universe. This book's job isn't a step by step guide but more of a survey of important concepts used in the Power BI world and does an excellent job of tying each detailed concept together - which is what you need when doing your PL-300 Exam. On top of being an exam guide - even after a lot of years of experience working with Power BI I was pulling useful nuggets our of the book that I could re-use in my projects !I highly recommend this book !

I am a Microsoft employee who wanted to get certified in Microsoft's Power Analyst certification. I was looking for review material and came across this book. It has been amazing. I went down every point that was supposed to be covered from Microsoft and it was covered in the book. After reading, I took the practice test and I received a very high passing score. What is missing from the book are some examples that are more complex. In my role, I have to do some complex O-data and embedded manipulations before display. I don't know that I would use the book as unabridged coverage for power bi, however, for the purpose of certification I don't think there is a finer up-to-date manual out there than this book.
