Filed Under: Dear Power BI | Reading Time: 4 minutes | Tagged With: English, PBI, Power BI

Part 1 of this post included my favourite resources for Microsoft’s Power BI exam (70-778) when it comes to the first two skills measured. This time I will cover more resources for data modelling and DAX, with maybe the most precious one when it comes to these. Then, I will talk about the third measured skill i.e. “Configure Dashboards, Reports and Apps in the Power BI Service”. Next, I will share 5 tips which helped me while actually taking the exam. Finally, those who just get started with Power BI can get some hints where to go from here at the end of this post.
