Recently, a free e-book on Ms Power Bi provides deeper insights.
This free eBook introduces the basics of Microsoft Power BI through a practical, scenario-based introduction to the tool. It also shows how to create analytical solutions with Power BI.
Broad approach for many readers
The MS Power Bi ebook is aimed at completely different readers. Of course, it is quite suitable for users who are completely new to the BI world. For these readers, the book is a simple introduction to the concepts on which BI is largely based. At the same time, the book is aimed at IT professionals and database administrators who may need to drive the adoption of Power BI. If that is more or less the case, this book serves both as a simple introduction to the basic concepts to understand why users are interested in Power BI. On the other hand, it also provides an overview of the functions available in Power BI. At the same time, Power BI is not just a tool: It is undoubtedly an ecosystem that can integrate existing enterprise BI with self-service BI. Accordingly, the last chapter of the book gives an overview of these capabilities.
For readers of the English-language Ebook on MS Power Bi, databases and workbooks are also available for download. These can be used to simulate case studies.
