I'm only 400 pages in but have already learned several techniques and concepts I didn't know I was missing. This has served to tie together other key concepts and strengthen my skills. While I agree with an earlier reviewer who wrote "This book is geared more for someone familiar with Power Query", somebody new to Power Query who recognizes the importance of learning to use this powerful data transformation tool will find this to be a vital resource. This book stands out among so many technical books in that it functions equally well as one you can read through from front to back while working through the examples and as one you can go to when researching a solution to a specific challenge. Review: Awesome book - Great book to build thorough understanding of Power Query and M language. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #214,599 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #36 in Microsoft Excel Guides #73 in Data Processing #103 in Enterprise Applications | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 150 Reviews | ## Images ![The Definitive Guide to Power Query (M): Mastering complex data transformation with Power Query - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xBCIrAqnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great foundational reference for Power Query (M) *by N***C on May 4, 2024* I have been working with Power BI for 8 years and have been about as deeply immersed in Power Query as one can be for most of that time.
