It’s not enough to draw a visually appealing dashboard layout. It’s crucial to understand the anatomy of diagrams and how they will be implemented in a specific BI tool. My favorite tool is undoubtedly Power BI. It has undergone remarkable evolution, becoming part of the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem, where artificial intelligence provides incredible capabilities. Yet it remains user-friendly for a quick start, like its “parents”—PowerPoint and Excel pivot tables. You can read this book without a technical background and immediately apply the knowledge to create professional dashboards. Gradually, you can delve into advanced tools. Certainly, AI will affect our analytical tasks, handling routine tasks and even suggesting insights. However, it’s crucial not to forget the fundamental principles of data literacy. It’s not just about following what your AI assistant suggests but making conscious choices. In this regard, books remain a reliable source of knowledge. I wish you an engaging reading experience!

Who This Book Is For: This practical book shows data analysts as well as professionals in finance, sales, and marketing how to quickly create visualizations and build savvy dashboards.
Managers and Nontechnical Professionals: For those who are new to Power BI, this book serves as an excellent introduction. It provides a clear understanding of how Power BI works through the lens of the final visual output. Particularly if you are familiar with PowerPoint presentations or Excel pivot tables, many features will feel intuitive. If your company already has Power BI Report Server with ready-made data models, the knowledge presented in this book will be ample. It enables you to craft professional dashboards based on clear data.
Data Analysts: If you are involved in data engineering, primarily working with Power Query and DAX, this book will be a valuable addition to your skill set. We understand that the design aspect can be tricky for a true analyst, making it challenging to anticipate what the client wants. Therefore, each chapter is supplemented with examples and explanations of why a particular visualization suits a specific case. You don’t have to memorize all the details; you can refer to the relevant chapter when necessary and cross-check the checklist to confirm whether all the configuration aspects for a particular chart have been addressed.
