This book is a great wide-ranging overview that covers *way* more than I was expecting. I was especially surprised to see a little DAX, that was neat. I've stuck to Power BI mostly but this book has gotten me to appreciate Power Pivot. Would recommend to people who like to see & assemble neat dashboards.
