Are you tired of spending your Sunday afternoons rebuilding a broken dashboard because someone changed a column name in the source database? Do you have a shared network folder full of confusing files named dashboard_final_FINAL_v3_USE_THIS_ONE.xlsx? It’s time to escape spreadsheet addiction and step into the world of truly automated enterprise business intelligence.
In Power BI for Data Analytics: The Lazy Person's Guide to Automated Reporting, data analyst and software developer John Cutts delivers a practical, step-by-step roadmap to building self-evident, lightning-fast dashboards that answer the right business questions without requiring constant manual maintenance. Written specifically for professionals who know their way around Excel but want to upgrade their skills, this guide skips the dry reference manuals and relies on hands-on learning from day one.
What You Will Master Inside This Guide:-
The Power BI Ecosystem: Navigate Power BI Desktop and the Power BI Service like a pro to share your insights smoothly across your entire organization.
-
Power Query Chores, Automated: Learn the art of cleaning, reshaping, splitting, and merging messy data automatically so you never repeat the same data prep tasks again.
-
Data Modeling & Star Schema: Connect multiple tables seamlessly using robust, enterprise-grade modeling structures optimized for speed.
-
DAX Formulas That Think: Demystify Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) and master essential functions like CALCULATE, ALLSELECTED, and dynamic parameters to write calculations that adapt to user interaction.
-
Advanced User Experience Controls: Build interactive slicers, custom hover tooltips, bookmarks, and seamless multi-page report navigation that feels like a modern web app.
-
Portfolio & Industry Practices: Set up automatic data refresh schedules, track down bottlenecks with the Performance Analyzer, and optimize your dashboard to build a standout LinkedIn portfolio.
Instead of working through abstract tutorials, you will analyze a massive real-world dataset of nearly 478,000 global technology and data science job postings. By the end of this book, you will have built:
-
The Data Jobs Dashboard: A broad-scope, interactive report exploring market hiring volume, global geographic distributions via maps, and job counts by title.
-
The Advanced Analytical Dashboard: A highly customized, deep-dive report featuring advanced DAX measures, field parameters, and rich canvas formatting for skills analysis and salary benchmarking.
"If you have to explain how to use a dashboard, you haven't finished building it." — John Cutts

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
