Description

The latest edition of this book delves deep into advanced analytics, focusing on enhancing Python and R proficiency within Power BI. New chapters cover optimizing Python and R settings, utilizing Intel's Math Kernel Library (MKL) for performance boosts, and addressing integration challenges. Techniques for managing large datasets beyond available RAM, employing the Parquet data format, and advanced fuzzy matching algorithms are explored. Additionally, it discusses leveraging SQL Server Language Extensions to overcome traditional Python and R limitations in Power BI. It also helps in crafting sophisticated visualizations using the Grammar of Graphics in both R and Python. This Power BI book will help you master data validation with regular expressions, import data from diverse sources, and apply advanced algorithms for transformation. You'll learn how to safeguard personal data in Power BI with techniques like pseudonymization, anonymization, and data masking. You'll also get to grips with the key statistical features of datasets by plotting multiple visual graphs in the process of building a machine learning model. The book will guide you on utilizing external APIs for enrichment, enhancing I/O performance, and leveraging Python and R for analysis. You'll reinforce your learning with questions at the end of each chapter.

This book is a good reference to understand how you can use Python and R in Power BI. It has a good introduction to getting setup and some great examples as to how you can extend your reports and advance your skills using these two programming languages.I enjoyed this book brings a unique perspective that I haven't seen in many other Power BI books. I am looking forward to getting more into the Python language, and this book will be helpful, especially with all the functionality coming to Fabric. I recommend this book to add another feather to your cap.

The book author has a strong hold over the Powerbi community and even the technology I believe this book is beneficial for people who have had a strong command over the Power BI, R and Python space because of the diversity it brings throughout the chapters, the most important thing is the journey of different libraries and how it has affected the whole space and how the case studies have been shared throughout the book. Congratulations to the authors for binding in a book of such quality!

A great resource for Power BI users aiming to bolster their analytical prowess. The authors offer well-explained and hands-on examples, leading readers through the intricacies of seamlessly integrating Python and R with Power BI.I was particularly drawn to the Python side of this book. I've often found using Python visuals or features in Power BI to be cumbersome. My visuals would load slowly, prompting me to revert to default visuals in Power BI and stick to traditional M query data transformations.This book opened up some possibilities I'd never considered where in the past I'd given up trying to implement. Python has much more appealing visuals and data capabilities but I didn't know how to use it without seemingly bogging down my entire report. As a heavy Power BI user, I got a lot of new ideas to consider from this book.
