    Hi Anonymous ,

    I think you need to clear both the exams to get MCSA certified.

    Clearing just one of them would earn you a badge.

    Thanks.

    Hi Anonymous ,

    We need to clear both of them. The certification requires us to demonstrate our expertise in analyzing data with both Power BI and Excel. 

    You could reference this : MCSA: BI Reporting to understand more.

Does each certification cost 165 $ ? Should both of these exams be taken on different days ?

Hi,
It will cost you individually. Better to attend both the exam on different day.

    Microsoft should revisit this certification structure. I am not happy to spend another 165 $ to write excel exam and get MCSA certifed. 

     

    What If I just take Power BI exam alone ? I understand that I will just receive a badge for completion. How it would looke like ? any idea ?
