Getting started with Power Query in Power BI and Excel: Getting, transforming, and preparing the data. The first step towards data analysis (The Definitive ... Power Query in Power BI and Excel Book 1)

The title of this outrageously overpriced book, which I purchased and received in paperback today, is “Getting Started….”The front cover says, “Getting Starting….”I have read the male author’s blogs and free e-books. The grammar is atrocious there and apparently, he employed the same editor on this $53 paperback rehashing of his blogposts - himself! I’ve read the first three chapters and the English is embarrassingly poor. For a book on cleaning data you would have expected clean data he then loaded into meaningful information.Once I finish book and all of its exercises I will post an updated review but as of this writing I would not recommend the book based on its poor English as well as lackluster content so far.

this is a great clear introduction. I had worked through a more dense book and this was exactly the kind of gentle introduction that I needed to feel more comfortable. Recommended.

I enjoyed reading this book, it has a lot of practical examples, the authors have an excellent domain in the subject, and they complemented the chapters with their blog. I will buy the second book for sure.
