Some terminology and notation is outdated, but you can still deduct it and learn from it.

If you have worked with Power Bi for more than 2 days, you are beyond this book. Plus the current Power BI interface has changed so much it makes this book irrelevant. Hopefully the new addition releasing in a few days is better. This one I found 2 pages to be a new learning for me.
