    Hello,

    On the MS Learn link for “pt-br” (Portuguese), two study topics do not appear:

    • Design effective reports in Power BI
    • Manage and secure Power BI

    Link: https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/credentials/certifications/data-analyst-associate/?practice-assessment-type=certification

    Tks!!

  • Will there be any changes to DP-605, as this is essentially a "slimmed down" PL-300?

      Not at this time. We encourage you to continue sharing course feedback through your designated support channels.

      Thank you

  • Hello Mindy.

    Do I understand it correctly that the labs and demos from here (https://microsoftlearning.github.io/PL-300-Microsoft-Power-BI-Data-Analyst/) will be updated accordingly on June 27?
