Yes, there are several sample datasets available for Power BI that you can download to follow along with tutorials on the Microsoft Learn platform. You can find built-in samples, .pbix files, Excel datasets, and SQL databases. Here are some options:

Built-in Samples: Available directly in the Power BI service. You can access them by signing into the Power BI service and navigating to the Learning center.
.pbix Files: You can download updated sample .pbix files designed for use with Power BI Desktop.
Excel Workbooks: There are Excel workbook versions of built-in samples that contain data models.
SQL Samples: If you prefer working with SQL databases, there are downloadable AdventureWorks and WorldWideImporters SQL databases.

These resources should help you get the data you need for your tutorials.
