Common questions
Do I need to know the M language?
Not deeply for most junior roles. You should be comfortable with Power Query steps such as changing types, removing columns and merging queries, and know that each step is recorded.
How much DAX is expected?
Commonly SUM, COUNTROWS, DIVIDE, CALCULATE with simple filters and a time intelligence function such as TOTALYTD. Understanding filter context matters more than memorising many functions.
Is Excel knowledge useful for Power BI?
Yes. Pivot tables, lookups and clean tabular data all carry over, and many MIS roles use both tools side by side.
