I'm largely self-taught on Power BI but this is a great book to really kick off right the way - all the way through from installing the software and other supporting tools like Report Builder, building a model and report and then improving and documenting it.Each chapter is very well laid out in a clear format - I like the structure with "Getting ready", "How it works" and "There's more" in nice bitesize chunks with each chapter closing out with a good Summary.There are links to GitHub so you can do the doing which works really well.There are some great modelling techniques in this book for both the beginner and more advanced user.Definitely another great addition to the bookshelf with nice colour screenshots, well laid out as with other Packt books I've read and does a great job of getting the technical aspects articulated clearly.

I'll be clear and brief: this is a great Power BI cookbook! I've read a handful of Power BI books over the years and I think this is one of the best ones to date. It covers everything from licensing to getting started with Microsoft fabric. With more than 550 pages across 13 chapters, you will walk away with a deep understanding of Power BI best practices. Easy to read, follow, and understand too!
