On this page, I catalog and recommend books about data visualization and Power BI. I write only about books from my bookshelf and post only honest, non-sponsored reviews.
A few of these books are specifically tailored to the needs of Power BI developers, covering topics such as Power Query and M language, dimensional data modeling, and DAX. However, most of these books are tool-agnostic, meaning they do not focus on Power BI or any specific data visualization tool. If you’re seeking books with tool-specific step-by-step instructions, like “click File then click Open,” this may not be the right place for you.
The selection here primarily features books that enhance your understanding, shift your perspective, and assist in creating and presenting better charts, dashboards, and reports, although some offer extremely practical recommendations on how to start making better charts right away.
P.S. There is a long list of books I’ve read but have not yet written a review for. However, I’ll try to update this page with more reviews soon.
