Power Query is a data preparation tool that enables data engineers and business users to connect, reshape, enrich, and transform their data to facilitate relevant business insights and analysis.

Additionally, the book also shows you how to use Power Query Online within Power BI Dataflows. By the end of the book, you'll be able to leverage your source data, understand your data better, and enrich it with a full stack of no-code and custom features that you'll learn to design by yourself for your business requirements.

Gleich vorweg: ich kenne die Autorin und arbeite mit ihr zusammen.Das Buch enthält Mini-Projekte, sog. "Rezepte" für alle Bereiche, mit denen man als Power BI / Power Query-Entwickler*innen im täglichen Leben konfrontiert wird. Als Leser*in bekommt man im Rezept zunächst alle notwendigen "Zutaten" (technische Anforderungen/Voraussetzungen) präsentiert und kann dann direkt an die Umsetzung gehen. Diese Strukturierung erlaubt es auch erfahreneren Lesern*innen flexibel zu den fortgeschritteneren Themen zu springen, da die Kapitel voneinander unabhängig gestaltet sind.Auch Fortgeschrittene PowerBI / PowerQuery-Entwickler*innen werden von diesem Buch profitieren. Andrea konzentriert sich auf das Notwendige und lässt die Schnörkel aus. Damit kann man ein Thema schnell erfassen und umsetzen.Aus meiner Sicht ist das Buch definitiv eine Referenz für alle, die sich mit dem Thema Power Query beschäftigen. Es hilft Anfängern*innen und Fortgeschrittenen gleichermaßen und sollte in jedem Regal stehen, wo mit Power BI, Synapse Pipelines und Azure Data Factory gearbeitet wird.

Power Query Cookbook is an excellent introduction to Power Query. The Cookbook format presents individual concepts through small projects, or Recipes. Instead of following a traditional textbook format, where a few projects are followed from the beginning of the book to the end, in this book each Recipe is atomic, meaning each can be followed individually without having to lead specific versions of files created along the way. Every project lists the software, framework, OS, and memory requirements for the project, so learners will never find out in the middle of a project that they need a Pro or Premium license to perform specific tasks.The Cookbook format is conducive to learning concepts individually, as well as chaining them together. It is also excellent as a reference, since each Recipe can be reworked without relying on files modified in earlier portions of the book.The book starts from bare bones installation, moves through connecting to common data sources, exploring data through the UI, shaping and combining data, and finishes off with more advanced concepts such as query optimization (both through use of the UI and diagnostics), custom columns and functions, and the use of dataflows.The Advanced Editor and the M code is introduced in the first chapter, and throughout the book. This is a refreshing change from most books, which relegate it to the end if they mention it at all. There is also a plethora of pictures, almost every menu selection is shown, which makes it possible to follow along even when away from your computer.For myself this book was a great refresher on basic Power Query concepts, and I learned some new advanced concepts I had not seen before and will likely use the next time I'm bringing in data to Power BI. One such example is the use of Clustering match strength to clean data.

When I learn about Power Query, I prefer watching video training on the subject matter, however, the author does a wonderful job adding the description with stunning visuals on data transformations in Power Query. The author walks the user through make data connections to your external files or data sources. The author also shows users how to setup gateway connections. Power Query data reshaping is best performed on the program, however the graphics in the book also gives the user great instruction of the reshaping procedures.My favorite chapter of the book was Combining Queries for Efficiency working with Merging Queries with table joins and appending tables. Advance Power Query users can also gain valuable insights on the last six chapters in this book. M-Language, Power Query Performance, and Data Flows give advanced users insights into these complex subject matter.I would recommend this book to Power BI, Power BI Pro, & Get Data users in EXCEL. The author covers intermediate and advanced topics on the subject matter.
