Most of us going through this book would already know that Power BI is a powerful business intelligence tool that can be used for data visualization and analysis. However, I feel that data modeling is an often overlooked skill that can serve as a strategic advantage when it comes to creating powerful dashboards and reports. Without a well-designed data model, the reports can become sluggish.This is where the book comes into the picture. According to me, the hallmark of a good technical book is being able to supplement it with good real-life examples, and this is something where this book excels. The book offers a mix of conceptual lessons and step-by-step examples. Helpful diagrams visualize table connections in sample datasets.I would recommend this book to slightly more advanced (or intermediate to advanced) readers and the length of the book may discourage some readers, but since the book is organized well, you can just pick the topic you might need!While it may require some dedication, the rewards of better data models and improved business insights make it a worthwhile investment for Power BI enthusiasts seeking to optimize their data modeling skills.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
