Der Autor beschreibt nicht nur, was man beim Entwickeln von Lösungen mit Power BI tun muss, sondern erläutert auch die Hintergründe. Insbesondere veranlasst er den Leser, sich vor einer Aktivität darüber Gedanken zu machen, was man erreichen will und wie das in die allgemeinen Rahmenbedingungen passt.Was evtl. ein wenig fehlt sind Kapitel für Einsteiger. Da das Buch aber schon jetzt sehr umfangreich ist, kann man sich das auch im Netz beschaffen.

This is the best book I have yet seen for those who already have some experience with Power BI in an enterprise setting, and seek to enhance their skills. The author uses his recipes to teach fundamental principles as well as Power BI features. The recipes in the book are well-chosen and immediately useful to the busy practitioner. Highest recommendation and congratulations to the author for his outstanding work.

Simply put, this is a wonderful book. I am an intermediate Power BI user, and I am basically reading it cover to cover because I don't want to miss a detail. I have found so many delightful gems within the pages. The author not only presents tactics for utilizing Power BI, but also strategy for overall product usage that will benefit my clients tremendously in the simplicity, efficiency, elegance, and relevancy of the reports and solutions that I am enabled to create. A huge thank you to the author for this great resource!
