Microsoft Power BI Dashboards Step by Step 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

I love this book. It count the money as the rich knowledges, and straight forward explanation. (Other book, sell the space / paper for money!)All aspects covered in this book!

I have been working on learning and building solutions with PowerBI and this book was a great kick start and then reference for me. Even someone who has been testing this technology out for months will stand to learn a few things they didn't know from this book. I'd suggest it be on anyone's desk from the casual user to the more advanced developer, it has topics for everyone in between.

Excellent product

I guess it introduces you to Power BI, but it’s way too basic for even a below average user. It’s in color, which I guess is a plus. Nothing special about this one.

This book is a great introduction to Power BI. Very informative.

Easy step by step, very easy to follow along!! Highly recommended!

While I would have liked some more in-depth dives on certain topics, like DAX, this is a really good book for anyone just starting out building reports in Power BI.

The author seems to have rushed thru the chapters.The downloads do not much the instructions in the book.Please DO NOT buy this book.Waste of money and time.

Almost daily for the last 4 months, i swallow how to books, so feel I can confidently give a measured (see what i did there?) review on various application how to books. This is so awful. It is so awful precisely because graphically it looks very professional. As you start to go through the exercises you quickly realise that:the exercise examples do not match the book;the book is stuffed with breakdowns of functions (eg TRIM) that you could pick up from a quick search - seems to be used as filler,there is missing data required to make the visuals.Ok, I thought, I will create the calculated columns I need for the visuals exercises myself. Able to do this in chapter 4 but do not have the required raw data in the provided files to create the required calcs to do follow through with the "step by step"(I use that term really loosely) suggested visuals.Am now giving up which is rare for me. I am a VERIFIED PURCHASE - suggest anyone looking at the reviews stick with verified purchase reviews. Really wish I had in this case.

I agree with a few of the other reviews on here. The book quickly loses its way when it starts asking you to do steps that rely on other steps which have been missed out - not simple steps, either, that you can usually work out for yourself I ran straight into this on page 90 which is part of the way through chapter 4. You are suddenly being asked to use calculated fields at step 5 which don't exist at this point and which are lessons in themselves to create, and looking at the figure in the book you see that there are many of these that have simply appeared from nowhere, and are simply not in the sample Excel data file. The author then ignores all this, and you get a series of steps that are impossible to follow along with. Amazingly, just on page 18 there is a warning that you can't complete what it is showing you to do until you have completed the later chapter 4, so why not get the instructions in the correct order in the first place? This book is nowhere near the normally excellent standard of the Microsoft Step by Step ones, and I regret buying it now.

It wasn't very useful. Not bad overview.
