I recently took and passed the Microsoft certification exam 70-778 for Power BI called Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Microsoft Power BI. I’ve taken Microsoft certification exams in the past, but for the first time I took the exam using the online proctor method. I read several reviews by others that had a rough experience with this method of doing exams, but luckily, I had a very positive experience.
Now that I’ve taken this exam for myself, I want share how you can use the Power BI training offered by Pragmatic Works to prepare for the 70-778 exam.
