Power BI Desktop Book/Course.

Hi All,

 

I am new to Power BI and I am looking for Book which gives the complete overview on Power BI Desktop, I have worked on Power view, power pivot and power query before I am familar with these. 

 

I saw a lot of material (videos/articles) on Power BI but they are all in bits and pieces, I am looking for a book which gives the complete information about power BI desktop, which should include developing dashboards, deploying dashboards, developing reports using maps., etc..,

 

Can any one please suggest a Book or videos which covers all the topics of Power BI Desktop.

 

Thank You,

    Well, for me PowerBI is just the standalone combination of PowerQuery and PowerPivot for Excel.
    Once you know these two tools, using PowerBI will come naturally to you, as it is pretty much the same.

    PowerPivot: I took the online course offered by powerpivotpro.com which is only on the Excel-Version of PowerPivot and how to write DAX measures. 

    PowerQuery: I have read the book "M is for (Data) Monkey", which explains that part of PowerBI.

    Personally, I believe that if you learn both tools separately, it allows you to go into more detail and understand the workings behind PowerBI better.
