Hello @Wayne Burgin If you're specifically targeting the Power BI Data Analyst Associate certification, the MS Learn modules that are referenced in the certification details page should be the place to start - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/power-bi-data-analyst-associate/. However, considering that you're completely new here, I would encourage to look at the Power BI Learning catalog that you can access at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/learning-catalog/. More specifically, I would strongly encourage you to take the "Learn it in a day" section that's super useful. Additionally, if you're part of the Microsoft Partner Network, you can also sign up for the "Dashboard in a Day" workshop for free. You can find the details here - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-in/diad/.
