Preface

Power BI visualization is gaining popularity in the business world due to its capability in modeling and effectively presenting the data. Through the years, Power BI has evolved into a powerful suite of products.

In my career, I worked on different reporting and visualization applications such as Tableau, Qlik, IBM Cognos, Business Objects and Actuate. I feel Power BI is at par and sometimes more advantageous as compared to others.

The functionalities included in Power BI are as vast as an ocean. Power BI desktop, Query editor, Visualizations, DAX formulas and Power BI Service make the application robust but at the same time can become a little difficult to understand. In this book, an attempt has been made to introduce the readers to the basics and then take them to more deeper concepts. This book covers all aspects of creating a project in Power BI from start to finish.

As Power BI is getting adopted by more and more organizations, it is generating good career options. The purpose of writing this book is to equip readers with the essentials of Power BI in a nutshell. This book is useful for the novice IT aspirants ready to take a plunge and also for the seasoned IT professionals who want to switch their career to Power BI.

In writing this book, I have followed the same approach as observed in my other books. It is simple to follow and provides concepts followed by hands-on exercises. All the data and solution files are provided. The readers can follow the steps mentioned in the book and create their own application.

The primary challenge I faced in writing this book are the changes introduced by Power BI. Few times, the look-and-feel of the application has changed. I have tried my best to keep up with the changes, but, in case some discrepancies are found remember, the changes are only in the interface and not in the concepts. A menu item may have shifted in the ribbon but it will be there. The way the functionality is implemented has not changed and remains the same.

The primary goal of this book is to provide information and skills that are necessary to create a Power BI application. This book contains steps that will show readers how to install and create Power BI application.

Over the chapters in this book, you will learn the following:

Chapter covers the basics of Business Intelligence and explains all the important terms and definitions. It also explains different components of Power BI and what they do. It will assist in installing Power BI desktop and provides an overview of the data tables used in the book.

Chapter explains how Power BI connects to data from disparate sources such as database tables, XLS files, relational database and many more. It also introduces Query editor and describes how to use it to shape the data.
