About the book; Quick Intro from Author

In 2016, after bringing the capability of writing R codes inside Power BI, I’ve been encouraged to publish an online book through a set of blog posts. The main reason to publish this book online, was that there is no integrated and comprehensive book on how to use R inside Power BI. From that time till now, I’ve been writing blog posts (or sections) of this book almost weekly in RADACAD blog. So far, I have more than 20 sections wrote in this book. This book covers most aspects of R inside Power BI; from creating R visual inside Power BI, how to run Machine Learning algorithm and how to create R custom visual. This book explains the main concepts of machine learning, R from novice to professional level. You can start reading this book with no prerequisite. I recommend to follow the book structure rather than read each section by itself. However, there are some sections, you don’t need to follow specific order. After six months of writing online, I decided to release this book as a PDF version as well, for two reasons; First to help community members who are more comfortable with PDF books, or printed version of materials. Second as a giveaway in my Advance Analytics training courses. Feel free to print this book and keep it in your library, and enjoy. This book is FREE! This book will be updated with updated editions (hopefully every month), so you can download the latest version anytime from my blog post here: https://radacad.com I will do my best to update any changes in next few editions. Just to keep you informed, the publish date of each section is mentioned at the beginning of each section under the header.

Who Is This Book For?

This book is designed for BI Developers, Consultants, Data scientists who wants to know how to develop machine learning solutions inside Power BI. BI Architects and Decision Makers who wants to make their decision about using or not using R visuals or Machine Learning inside Power BI in their BI applications. Business Analysts who want to get better insight on data and learn tricks of how to apply machine learning on specific data. The book titled “Advance Analytics with Power BI and R”, and that means it will cover wide range of readers. I’ll start by writing 100 level and we will go deep into 400 level at some stage. So, if you don’t know what Power BI is, or If you are familiar with R but want to learn how to use Power BI, this book able to show you the main process.
