If you want to explore using Python or R in Power BI and Power Query, this is a great resource and awesome patterns and techniques you can start with.It goes above and beyond when it comes to examples, explanations, and environment setup (eg. installing Python/R, gateway, etc). It covers some very awesome topics like calling APIs from your Power BI solution using Python/R and setting up ML services in SQL server and using it in your Power BI solution.Bottom line - The amount of great content this book has on this topic is simply amazing!
