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!

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

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.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. 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. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
