I am a Microsoft employee who wanted to get certified in Microsoft's Power Analyst certification. I was looking for review material and came across this book. It has been amazing. I went down every point that was supposed to be covered from Microsoft and it was covered in the book. After reading, I took the practice test and I received a very high passing score. What is missing from the book are some examples that are more complex. In my role, I have to do some complex O-data and embedded manipulations before display. I don't know that I would use the book as unabridged coverage for power bi, however, for the purpose of certification I don't think there is a finer up-to-date manual out there than this book.

I wish I had this book when I first began working in Power BI. The book reads very well, is easy to understand, flows nicely, and has plenty of examples throughout. Whether you are planning to take the certification exam or just want a great resource for Power BI, this book is for you. I've never been one to sit down and read for long periods of time, but it was different with this book. The book flowed in a way that kept me interested page after page, excited to learn more.

This guide is well written and uses vernacular that I can understand which is especially important to me because I have a 16-year background in Agricultural Finance with little previous experience in formal data compilation and analysis. Only within the past few years has our company invested heavily in technology, systems, and people to allow for data extraction into tables and databases. Prior to this, we did not have "usable" data, being housed mostly in Excel. This is a truly exciting time for us because we are just now learning the benefits of our data and what insights it can bring when analyzed correctly. This book makes excellent points on why data is important and how Power BI is a solution to data analysis. Through trial and error, I have learned that I must sell the data to the audience which I am presenting, mainly sales personnel within my company. I especially enjoyed reading Part 3 - Visualizing the Data to aid me in storytelling. I have learned very quickly that if I show a table of values to our salespeople only a small percentage will take the time to digest it, but if I provide a well-formatted visual aid (even with higher-level information) they digest it quickly and ask for the more-granular information. I love seeing all the various visuals in this section, as it provides me with future ideas on how to present the data to my audience in the most impactful way.I had not considered becoming certified in Power BI in the past. This book provides the road map I need to be successful in obtaining certification.
