Practise Datasets mentioned in DP-750 course

The DP-750 transportation scenario is CityMoves Transit, and its practice notebooks and supporting datasets are in the official MicrosoftLearning DP-750 GitHub repository under Allfiles.

Download the course materials

1. Open the official course repository:
   DP-750T00—Implement Data Engineering Solutions using Azure Databricks
2. Select Code → Download ZIP, then extract the archive.
3. Look in:
   • Allfiles/data for supplied dataset files:
     Allfiles/data
   • Allfiles for the lab notebooks.
   • Instructions/Labs for the corresponding exercise instructions.

The first lab uses the fictional CityMoves Transit public transportation authority. Its notebook is:

01-explore-azure-databricks.ipynb

Import the notebook directly into Azure Databricks

In the Azure Databricks workspace:

1. Open Workspace.
2. Select Create → Notebook → Import.
3. Select URL.
4. Enter:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftLearning/DP-750T00-Implement-Data-Engineering-Solutions-using-Azure-Databricks/refs/heads/main/Allfiles/01-explore-azure-databricks.ipynb

5. Select Import, attach compute, and follow the notebook instructions. The notebook indicates which sample data must be uploaded to the Unity Catalog volume.

For later exercises, use the correspondingly numbered notebooks—such as 07-ingest-data-into-unity-catalog.ipynb and 08-cleanse-transform-load-data-into-unity-catalog.ipynb—together with files in Allfiles/data.

If the course expects built-in sample data

Some exercises may use Azure Databricks’ built-in samples catalog rather than a downloaded file. You can inspect it in Catalog Explorer → samples or run:

SHOW SCHEMAS IN samples;
SELECT *
FROM samples.nyctaxi.trips
LIMIT 10;

The samples.nyctaxi.trips table contains New York City taxi-trip data and can be referenced directly from a notebook or SQL editor ^1^.

The DP-750 study guide also links the current self-paced and instructor-led preparation resources; course materials can change as the exam objectives are updated ^2^.
