    Power Pivot & Power BI:
    The Excel User's Guide to DAX, Power Query, Power BI and Power Pivot in Excel 2010-2016

    ​Add to Cart

    Excel pros are used to working with unstructured data. This ability is what has made Excel so successful, but it’s also this freedom that makes learning Power Pivot challenging. Why? Because Power Pivot requires structured data, something we’re just not used to.

    It’s for this reason that we HIGHLY recommend Power Pivot and Power BI as an essential part of the learning journey. In fact, had it not been for the material in this book, Ken says he wouldn’t be equipped to teach courses on Power Pivot.

    Learning how tools work is great, but if you can’t figure out how to apply it to your own work, it doesn’t help. And that, right there, is why this book is so essential. Not only does it teach you the concepts of how to build your DAX measures, this book clearly works through how DAX ...
