      abstract = {Use this book to study for the PL-300 Microsoft Power BI  Data Analyst exam. The book follows the "Skills Measured"  outline provided by Microsoft to help focus your study.  Each topic area from the outline corresponds to an area  covered by the exam, and the book helps you build a good  base of knowledge in each area. Each topic is presented  with a blend of practical explanations, theory, and best  practices. Power BI is more than just the Power BI Desktop  or the Power BI Service. It is two distinct applications  and an online service that, together, enable business users  to gather, shape, and analyze data to generate and present  insights. This book clearly delineates the purpose of each  component and explains the key concepts necessary to use  each component effectively. Each chapter provides best  practices and tips to help an inexperienced Power BI  practitioner develop good habits that will support larger  or more complex analyses. Many business analysts come to  Power BI with a wealth of experience in Excel and  particularly with pivot tables. Some of this experience  translates readily into Power BI concepts. This book  leverages that overlap in skill sets to help seasoned Excel  users overcome the initial learning curve in Power BI, but  no prior knowledge of any kind is assumed, terminology is  defined in non-technical language, and key concepts are  explained using analogies and ideas from experiences common  to any reader. After reading this book, you will have the  background and capability to learn the skills and concepts  necessary both to pass the PL-300 exam and become a  confident Power BI practitioner.},
