    The PL-300 exam name has not changed recently. The is a slight difference in naming between the exam and the certification that it earns.

    The study guide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/resources/study-guides/pl-300#change-log has details of changes to the skills measured in the exam.

    The exam code PL-300 is still current and is associated with the Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst role. The certification name is Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate; exam and certification names can differ, but the code PL-300 remains the same.

    Regarding syllabus changes, PL-300 is periodically updated. The study guide notes that:

    • Exams are updated regularly to reflect the skills required for the role, and the English version is updated first.
    • Most questions cover General Availability (GA) features, but commonly used Preview features can also appear.
    • For the update effective January 15, 2026, within the skill area “Visualize and analyze the data”, the objective “Create reports” has major changes and “Identify patterns and trends” has minor changes.

    For the most accurate and current skills list and any future updates, the Exam Details page and the Study guide for Exam PL-300 should be checked regularly, especially the Skills measured section and its change log.
