Applied Power BI Book (5th Edition)

I’m excited to announce the fifth edition of my Applied Microsoft Power BI book! When the first edition was published  in January 2016, it was the first Power BI book at that time and it had less than 300 pages.  Since then, I helped many companies adopt or transition to Power BI and taught hundreds of students. It’s been a great experience to witness the momentum surrounding Power BI and how the tool has matured over time. As a result, the book also got thicker and it now stands at 528 pages. However, I believe what’s more important is that this book provides systematic, yet dependent, view by showing what Power BI can do for four types of users (business users, analysts, pros, and developers).

To my understanding, this is the only Power BI book that gets annual revisions to keep it up to date with this ever changing technology! Because I had to draw a line somewhere, Applied Microsoft Power BI (5th edition) covers all features that are in preview or released by December 2019. As with my previous books, I’m committed to help my readers with book-related questions and welcome all feedback on the book discussion forum on the book page. While you are there, feel free to check out the book resources (sample chapter, front matter, and more). I also encourage you to follow my blog at https://prologika.com/blog and subscribing to my newsletter at https://prologika.com to stay on the Power BI latest.

Bring your data to life for the forth time! Keep on reading, learning, and Happy New Year!
