8. Power BI Notable Links - Certification Info

Updated monthly, here’s the best place to go for Microsoft certifications.?www.aka.ms/TrainCertPoster.?From here, you can click through directly to Microsoft Learn and everything you wanted to know about certifications is listed here.?On the poster itself, you can click on individual role-based certs to go directly to the certification page.?

9. Power BI Notable Links - Books

Spending only 30 minutes a day learning a single concept, formula, or method is equivalent to 182.5 hours/year.?How much can you learn in 182 hours??What if you went all in and turned off the TV and spent 4 hours/day??That’s 1,460 hours/year!!!?Adults learn by doing and many of these books come with complete downloads of example content that is directly covered in the book, so you are not just reading the book and looking at figures and images, you are in Power BI at the same time reviewing the examples and content printed in the book.?In addition, the frequency of daily small lessons (or big gulps hahaha) significantly increases your retention factor.?None of these links are affiliate or advertisements. I own many of these in my private library and they are highly recommended.??#powerbi ??

Do you have a great book to recommend??Let me know?here.
