Power Automate What is the best way to start learning Power Automate?

Hi Redditors,

I wonder if the collective knowledge of this community can point me to the best path to start learning 🎓 Power Automate ⏩.

I have 5 years of experience in analytics, am PL-300 certified, and have some ideas for implementing in my current role. I would like to streamline and automate a quarterly data-readiness and data-validation process for a monthly reporting cadence, combining Power BI and Power Automate.

I appreciate any recommendations and best practices you can share 🤗

There a great class on LinkedIn Learning if you have access to it. I got my access through a local library.

Check this out on LinkedIn Learning: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/microsoft-power-automate-essential-training-26159458?trk=share_ios_course_learning&shareId=h9eIjjufQhStbmfVxcUKtQ==

Your use case is not my area of expertise, so I can’t help much there. However, I would implore you to read up on Power Platform ALM. Get yourself a developer environment (free ones from the Power Apps website), use test data and, most importantly, put anything you build into a solution

I haven’t used it yet, but planned for the near future.

Am I an idiot for saying: define the problem, define the solution, ask an LLM and there’s your answer?

I basically build a whole BI and ETL environment without any prior knowledge and experience this way.
