This post is part of a series of excerpts from my forthcoming book “Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Associate Study…
My new book “Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Associate Study Guide” from O’Reilly Press is really two books in one. When O’Reilly approached me about writing a study guide for the PL-300 exam, one of the most popular Microsoft certification exams, I said that I wanted to be a two-part book to help exam candidates join the thriving Power BI community followed by a guide for using Power BI in real-world applications in accordance with industry best practices. The second half of the book is focused on how to apply best-practice design after learning the Power BI building blocks. Some of the content in the second half of the book is updated and elaborated material from earlier blog posts and 2025 posts I will reference in this blog series. As of this post in January 2026, the online book is available as an early release through the O’Reilly subscription service and scheduled to be delivered through booksellers like Amazon early this year.
