@ this price it beats a Udemy course. Explanations are clear, spelling and grammar are good. You will need a separate pdf file to see screen shots as the kindle version images are too small to view details. So note that you receive a pdf file with all screen shots helping you through examples.Also note:To go through exercises using AI capabilities you will need a Power BI Premium license. A pro license will not allow you to use Microsoft's Power BI AI features.This book is hot off the press as of this review which makes this an excellent source to learn Power BI.

Power BI can be intimidating for those not familiar with the offering. Devin and team have you covered in this pretty complete book. This takes you on the journey of getting some data, massaging it and then getting into a report in the Power BI service to share with others.I like that it also covers areas of the product that aren't covered that well in other spots like some of the AI pieces that aren't as widely used.Power BI continues to change, and new features come about, but this book will still get you started with the fundamentals and let you get up and running.

This is a good first book for Power BI. After you've read it, you'll probably know whether Power BI is for you or not.
