This is definitely a comprehensive book! You could use it as a substitute for a more typical Power BI training book because it is laid out in a sensible way, starting with installation and configuration and eventually getting to scaling and distribution. The cookbook style might actually get you learning faster because there are so many practical hands-on examples. You can also just use it as a reference to solve particular problems as you run into them.

I have an entire shelf full of Power BI books, and this one is among my most heavily used. The cookbook/recipe paradigm that Greg Deckler used so effectively in the DAX Cookbook, works beautifully for the broader set of Power BI topics as well. Each recipe can stand alone as an individual tutorial to coach you through specific problems you are having with Power BI.The comprehensiveness of this book is extremely impressive. As other reviewers have mentioned, it covers topics that will be useful to the raw beginner as well as the seasoned expert, and does so with an array of practical examples, sample code, screenshots, and clear, concise instructions. In addition to the foundational topics covered in most Power BI books, it also includes excellent sections on much less commonly addressed topics, including parameterizing Power BI reports, creating centralized monitoring and administration solutions, and optimizing existing Power BI reports. Regardless of where you are in your Power BI journey, this book will be a very valuable addition to your reference shelf.

What a great Power BI reference packed with a ton of learning!! The authors really did a great job of laying out each chapter with great examples and sample code that users can easily follow along and learn Power BI. The chapters covering Security and Integration really help decode the complexity and options available within the Power BI platform. I give this publication 5 stars, and I will be using it as a go to for a while!
