"As someone who works with Power BI on a daily basis, I still find it challenging to understand every area of the Power BI solution. Considering the breadth of the platform, it's hard to be a "master of everything," but this book gives you an overview of almost all concepts relevant to Power BI. I'd recommend this book as a learning resource and a reference guide, as it provides you with a good starting point to explore further and understand concepts and features in the Power BI ecosystem."

-- Nikola Ilic, Data Mozart and Microsoft Data Platform MVP

"It's wonderful how the authors give their view on Corporate BI vs Self Service BI, accounting for considerations like having a central enterprise model versus having people build their own dashboards, while also maintaining reliability. However, where the book really impressed me is in how to manage workspaces and distribute your content."
