Excellent read for someone new to Power BI or someone looking for a refresher or reference for specfic topics. The book covers a lot of ground and has a good balance of narrative and code samples. Chapter 12 on deployment models, governance, and adoption were of particular interest to me.

Power BI beginner books are tricky. Since the program is updated by Microsoft almost every month, content can quickly become outdated. Greg Deckler has taken a very smart approach to making this book as "evergreen" as possible. First, he has clearly updated all of the content in this book to capture the newest elements in Power BI. Second, and more importantly, he does an outstanding job explaining the *key concepts* relevant to each section, then following up with a summary, questions and a recommended list of further reading materials. Thus, even if the specific "click here, insert this" steps change over time, this book will remain a very valuable resource.Greg is one of my favorite Power BI authors. He has a tremendous breadth and depth of Power BI knowledge, explains complex concepts in a clear and intuitive way, but also always takes a unique and creative approach to his subject matter. In this book, he has included topics I've never seen addressed in any Power BI book, much less a beginner's guide. Rather than jumping right into the Power BI how-to's, an early chapter of this book focuses on properly planning Power BI projects, from identifying stakeholders, goals and requirements to discussing the different team roles required - content that I think would benefit even many experienced Power BI users.Similarly, at the end of the book, he provides an insightful exploration of the current BI job market including a detailed breakdown of the typical responsibilities, requirements and even salaries of different BI-related jobs, and practical BI-specific career advice, e.g., interview strategies and how to negotiate salary and benefits.For any Power BI beginner looking to quickly become a highly proficient, well-rounded practitioner, I would give this book my highest recommendation.

Learn Power BI by Greg Deckler is an amazing book for every Power BI enthusiast who want to start their learning journey on this business intelligence tool. The book is a step-by-step guide that helps learning the real-world intelligence.The first key highlight for me in this book is that - Ever chapter ends with 3 concluding sections:Summary, Questions, Further ReadingEvery section has it's importance here and in my suggestion should not to be missed by the reader.Second key highlight for me is the references to the relevant resources used to explain every topic in the book. The reader can basically download sample data and get some practical hands-on while reading the book. So just not theoretical, it is practical hands-on hat makes you learn concepts. Coming from a Maths/Science background, this is something I really look in every book.Overall this is a well-written book with enough examples for one to try. Worth buying for a beginner learner. Great job be Greg on assembling Power BI topics in a single book.
