I was provided this book by the publisher and having read most of the Power BI books on the market at the moment, this is by far the best by a mile. It covers literally everything about Power BI and touches on so many topics. Even if you're an advanced user, this book should be on your shelf and if you're a beginner, it approached topics in a non-daunting way, everything is brilliantly explained allowing you to read a topic and go away and read it in more detail knowing you will have a great grounding by reading this book. I can't recommend this highly enough.

I'll be clear and brief: this is a great Power BI cookbook! I've read a handful of Power BI books over the years and I think this is one of the best ones to date. It covers everything from licensing to getting started with Microsoft fabric. With more than 550 pages across 13 chapters, you will walk away with a deep understanding of Power BI best practices. Easy to read, follow, and understand too!

Not recommended for beginners... But it is a great book!Color Images are are a great complement!

Brian Julius, Power BI Expert and Instructor Sep 04, 2024

First off - this is not a book for beginners. I would characterize it as an intermediate to advanced level book. If you are just starting with Power BI, go with "Learn Power BI, 2nd edition", also by Greg Deckler.Here are three reasons why I like this book so much and recommend it so highly:🔸 It's a CookbookThese are my favorite type of data books, since they are an incredibly efficient way to learn.This book is divided into ≈100 different "recipes" - very specific instructions on how to do one particular thing (e.g., Extending the Core M Library, Configuring On-Premises Data Connections, etc.). This makes it really easy to separate the things you already know from the areas in which to focus your learning.🔸 It's a "Learn by Doing" BookThe way I learn best is "tell me, show me, let me do it myself", and this is the paradigm the book is built around. Each recipe starts with a brief intro and then a section called "Getting Ready". The authors have prepared an extensive repository of over 100 PBIX files that enable you to work through the techiques on your own with little to no setup, and then check your work.🔸 It's a Greg Deckler BookGreg is one of the most knowledgeable and innovative thinkers in the global Power BI commmunity, so you can be certain you're not going to get a rehash of the standard topics and approaches.A great example of this is the chapter entitled "Parameterizing Power BI Solutions" which consists of six detailed recipes for employing powerful parameterization techniques across hashtag#Mcode and hashtag#DAX in an integrated way to develop custom analytical solutions in your reports. Not something often discussed, but incredibly useful.Similarly, the book also includes a 30 page, 5 recipe chapter called "Getting Serious About Date Intelligence", which is the most detailed writeup I've seen to date on what I refer to as the "offset" approach - just a decisively better way to do traditional "time intelligence" calculations - simpler, more flexible, more reliable, and more performant.One other thing - this book looks **great**. It's full of hi-res color screen shots and laid out in a really intuitive and attractive way.I could go on and on, but this is just a phenomenally well-implemented book that any serious Power BI user will benefit greatly from having in their collection.

This is a great book about Power BI. There are plenty of screenshots and step-by-step lessons to advance your knowledge about Power BI. It even gets pretty deep so there is something for everyone from beginner to advanced skill levels. I enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it.
