Where to find sample dataset to practice data modelling, DAX & report building

[shilpaae1999]

Hi All,

I am a newbie to Power BI - got certified via self-paced study recently. I am looking for some sample datasets available either on MS learn or Github that I can use to practice the newly acquired Power BI skills including data transformation, DAX, building reports, Dashboards and paginated reports. I do have the adventure works sample data but wondered if there any suggestions to find sample data to practice my skills. Really appreciate any suggestions or ideas.

Many Thanks,

Shilpa
