About the exam

The DP-600 certification validates expertise in implementing analytics solutions using Microsoft Fabric. It covers preparing and transforming data using lakehouses and warehouses, implementing and managing semantic models with DAX, configuring security and governance, and maintaining the analytics development lifecycle. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency with SQL, KQL, and Data Analysis Expressions.

This certification is designed for analytics engineers and data professionals who design, create, and manage enterprise-scale analytical assets in Microsoft Fabric. It is ideal for experienced Power BI or data platform professionals who are expanding their skills to the unified Fabric analytics platform including lakehouses, warehouses, and semantic models.

    Direct Lake Mode — Not understanding Direct Lake connectivity mode, its fallback behavior, and when to choose it over Import or DirectQuery.
  2. 02
    DAX Complexity — Struggling with advanced DAX functions including iterators, CALCULATE context transition, and calculation groups.
  3. 03
    Lakehouse vs Warehouse — Confusing when to use a Fabric lakehouse versus a data warehouse and their different query and storage characteristics.
  4. 04
    Workspace Security — Overlooking workspace roles, item-level permissions, row-level security, and object-level security in Fabric.
  5. 05
    Development Lifecycle — Not understanding Git integration, deployment pipelines, and version control for Fabric workspace items.
