    An essential reference source for beginner to expert Power BI users
    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.

    Go to Power BI Book for both Old and New Users!!!
    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!

    Packed with useful guides, explanations and tips!
    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.

    Great resource for new and experienced users
    I have been working in Power BI for 5+ years, and it seems like every time I open the book I learn something new. The authors have been very meticulous in scouring for use cases that everyone can relate to, and give plenty of insight that enables more advanced users to “arm” themselves with a new way of thinking about a problem.

    All of it in one book
    This is one of the most comprehensive books about Power BI eco system out there. It covers from the basics to the most recent features to date. And a collection of techniques implemented by the pros. One of the rare cases of a book that is useful from beginners to advance Power BI report authors.

    Book samples do not se the most current language conventions
    I am liking this book so far and the style is fine. Here is a task, here it what you do to accomplish that task.I have two small complaints. First, the sample code in the book is out of date. If you end up trying to type the information exactly as they have presented it, it no longer works and throws errors. you then go search for the proper method and it is not obvious. I assume this is because Microsoft has a tendency with this product especially from my understanding to make changes that based on the nature of the application are forced down on users.My second issue is that when I, as a fix for the first issue, go to the publishers site and find the sample files, they are all solution files and not simply the text from the book. This is understandable, but then on that site, the solutions in the chapter have no meaningful way to associate them with the current problem you are working on. You need to download and open multiple solutions to find the one with the example you are looking for.Not sure I would buy this book again and think I will avoid this publisher in the future.

    A great reference from awesome experts
    I also have a copy of their Extreme DAX book. It’s a lot of great examples, well thought out explanations, a reference so expansive there is still more to read. I have found the Packt publishing group to turn out some good material from solid experts in analytics.

    Per chi ha gia un po’ di compentenze, può risultare prolisso.Sebbene sia una guida passo passo, Avrei preferito un testo con piu esempi e descrizioni piu sinteticheùPunto di forza molto interessante è la possibilità di aver versione in PDF inclusa nel prezzo con download dal sito del produttore (almeno nella versione da me acquistata)
