Power BI textbook. It covers all the topic about Power BI. Why does Power BI matter, Power Query-Data Model Its feature, the visualization, DAX, Power BI service. Particularly, I love one chapter that explains each option of the menu bar thoroughly. Plus, some of the Author's joke quite tickles me. The DAX appendix is helpful as well.

However, this textbook is an absolute introduction. It gives a rough overview of each topic, hence it's not a one stop book. You need more book or course if you want to dig some topic further especially DAX. In this case, buying Udemy courses from trustworthy lecturers who teach hands-on Power BI and advance DAX courses might be a better option at an affordable price.
