This book is a good foundation for developing dashboards and reports. It covers the basics of charting, pivot tables and PowerQuery. Strangely enough, it does not give examples of dashboards nor instruct you in how to pull the vari0us elements together. This is an odd omission and why I cannot recommend it.
