Retired Certification Exams

I'm new to data analytics. My first step was to research certification opportunities for both SQL and PowerBI. What I have found, so far, are the 2 expired exams (70-778 and 70-768). Are there replacement exams for these certifications? If so, what are they?

Hi J.

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft community. 

As we understand from your post, you would like to know if there are any Certifications replacing Exams 70-778 and 70-768, as you were aiming to take these Exams but they have been retired. We are happy to help!

Unfortunately, as of now, no role-based Certifications have been developed to directly replace these Exams. Although there are Certifications available for Power BI, there are no Certifications focusing on SQL as of now.

You can browse all Certifications available for the role of Data Analyst by visiting; Browse Certifications and Exams | Microsoft Docs.

Since the MTA, MCSA, MCSE and MCSD Certifications retirement, we have developed a Recommended Path that you can follow if you are unsure of which Certifications to aim for, as role-based Certifications are constantly evolving according to the status of the industry, hiring trends, and your responsibilities as an IT professional.
