I taught PowerBI and Power Query at our local Community College last spring, and this book literally saved the course for the students. Students didn't use this book, but a textbook selected by the college. Thanks to this book, that textbook (eBook) was full of errors I could correct the errors in class. If you know Excel (the basic source of information for the class) and want to grow your knowledge, I highly recommend this book. Review: Good resource - It takes you step by step and is a good resource

Acurracy in New 2nd edition
This edition follows the latest updates from Power BI Desktop With first edition I get hard times to follow the software until chapter 5, when even try to follow the latest updates make impossible to continues the task This second edition solves everything until page 63... I'm pretty sure that frow this page 'til the end I won't found any problem. Highly recomended By the way, the book Is printed in plain black and white... And although you can download any screenshoot un color PDF from GitHub.. Is so sad buying a book without coloured printed.

Good but not great
Good step by step work instructions with additional resources to allow you to follow along and learn as you read. It's helpful but I'm not sure how it applies or when im supposed to do different functions when I apply what I learned to my own datasets.

Good introduction to PBI!
I picked up this as a eBook when I was first introduced to PBI, needing to get up to speed for a work project. Found the book well organized. The Summary, Questions and Further Reading at the end of each chapter were most helpful. Since then I've learned what an asset Greg Deckler is to the PBI community. Would highly recommend his book, "The Definitive Guide to Power Query (M), as well as (coauthor) Rick de Groot's YouTube channel. Learning M code will take your PBI knowledge to the next level!

Better than Power BI for Dummies
Just getting started and I jumped into Chapter 3 with building data and visualization. Outstanding, well written and easy to follow. I really enjoy the additional comments helping the user to understand the why behind the step or why Power BI does it a certain way.

Outdated
Out of date! How are they still selling this? Today's PowerBI is not what is shown in this book. It's similar, but not the same. Maybe if you can get this book for... $1, maybe it would be worth it?
