What's new on the PL-300 Power BI Certification Exam?

Key Changes in the PL-300 Exam

One major change is the addition of two new skills:

1. Enabling Personalized Visuals: This allows report viewers to customize the visualizations in Power BI based on their needs.
2. Designing and Configuring Accessible Reports: This section covers making reports accessible for all users. Check out Microsoft’s official accessibility guidelines and Pragmatic Works' playlist for additional training on accessible report design

How to Enable Personalized Visuals in Power BI

To enable personalized visuals, the report creator must turn on the feature in the report settings:

1. Go to File > Options and Settings > Options.
2. Under Current File, select Report Settings and enable Personalize Visuals.

Once enabled, users will see a personalized visual icon in the report headers, allowing them to modify the visuals in their view.

Customizing Visuals in Power BI Service

In Power BI Service, report viewers can change visual types, swap dimensions or measures, and add new fields to legends. These changes can be saved as personal bookmarks to retain customization for future views. For example, users can switch from a stacked bar chart to a column chart or add fields such as City to a legend.

How This May Appear on the PL-300 Exam

Expect scenario-based questions that ask you to provide users with customizable report views. Questions may ask you to differentiate between using personalized visuals, bookmarks, or drill-through pages to meet user needs.

Preparing for the PL-300 Exam

To fully prepare for these updates, review Microsoft’s official documentation and explore Pragmatic Works' training resources. Enable and practice with the personalized visuals feature in Power BI Desktop to familiarize yourself with its functions.
