Up and Running with DAX for Power BI - Alison Box - Bog - APress - Plusbog.dk

Take a concise approach to learning how DAX, the function language of Power BI and PowerPivot, works. This book focuses on explaining the core concepts of DAX so that ordinary folks can gain the skills required to tackle complex data analysis problems. But make no mistake, this is in no way an introductory book on DAX. A number of the topics you will learn, such as the concepts of context transition and table expansion, are considered advanced and challenging areas of DAX. While there are numerous resources on DAX, most are written with developers in mind, making learning DAX appear an overwhelming challenge, especially for those who are coming from an Excel background or with limited coding experience. The reality is, to hit the ground running with DAX, it''s not necessary to wade through copious pages on rarified DAX functions and the technical aspects of the language. There are just a few mandatory concepts that must be fully understood before DAX can be mastered. Knowledge of everything else in DAX is built on top of these mandatory aspects. Author Alison Box has been teaching and working with DAX for over eight years, starting with DAX for PowerPivot, the Excel add-in, before moving into the Power BI platform. The guide you hold in your hands is an outcome of these years of experience explaining difficult concepts in a way that people can understand. Over the years she has refined her approach, distilling down the truth of DAX which is "you can take people through as many functions as you like, but it''s to no avail if they don''t truly understand how it all works." You will learn to use DAX to gain powerful insights into your data by generating complex and challenging business intelligence calculations including, but not limited to: - Calculations to control the filtering of information to gain better insight into the data that matters to you - Calculations across dates such as comparing data for the same period last year or the previous period - Finding rolling averages and rolling totals - Comparing data against targets and KPIs or against average and maximum values - Using basket analysis, such as "of customers who bought product X who also bought product Y" - Using "what if" analysis and scenarios - Finding "like for like" sales - Dynamically showing TopN/BottomN percent of customers or products by sales - Finding new and returning customers or sales regions in each month or each year Who This Book Is For Excel users and non-technical users of varying levels of ability or anyone who wants to learn DAX for Power BI but lacks the confidence to do so

Visual Data Insights Using SAS ODS Graphics - Leroy Bessler - Bog - APress - Plusbog.dk

SAS ODS graphics users will learn in this book how to visually understand and communicate the significance of data to deliver images for quick and easy insight, with precise numbers. Many charts or plots require the viewer to run the eye from a bar end or plot point to some point on an axis, and then to interpolate between tick marks to estimate the value. Some design choices can lead to wrong conclusions or mistaken impressions. Graphic software relies on defaults to deliver something if you make a minimal effort, but that something is not likely to be exactly what you want. Visual Data Insights Using SAS ODS Graphics provides examples using experience-based design principles. It presents examples of bar charts, pie charts, and trend lines or time series plots, the graph types commonly used in business, other organizations, and the media for visual insight into data. Newer graphs are also included: dot plots, needle plots, waterfall charts, butterfly charts, heat maps, bubble plots, step plots, high-low plots, and donut charts. In addition, there are basic tools of statistics: scatter plots, box plots, histograms, fit and confidence plots, and distributions. Author LeRoy Bessler introduces unique creations, including sparsely annotated time series, maximally informative bar charts, better box plots, histograms based on interesting atypical rationales, and much more. The examples use SAS sample data sets as input. Any SAS user can experiment with the code presented to see what else is possible, or adapt it to repurpose the design and apply it with a customized version of that code. What You''ll Learn - Create graphs that are easily and quickly interpreted, and without ambiguity - Supply precise data values that are correct on the graph and correctly associated with the graphic visual elements - Take advantage of widely applicable (but not necessarily available elsewhere) design examples - Avoid bad practices that are encouraged by poor examples elsewhere - Get past sub-optimal designs and results that are built into software defaults - Take advantage of less familiar capabilities available in the software Who This Book Is For SAS software users who want to understand their data and/or visually deliver their results

Web API Development for the Absolute Beginner - Irina Dominte - Bog - APress - Plusbog.dk

If you are a developer who wants to learn the basic skills of web and application programming interfaces (APIs) with .NET, this book is your complete introduction. The book takes a learn-by-experience approach. You will hit the ground running with a sample project that has everything you need to be wired up. As you follow along, you will learn simple and intuitive conventions that will free you from some of the more tedious decisions and work, in order to allow you to focus on the business requirements required by your team. Certain components of the framework should always appear in certain folders in the solution to speed up development while others need a name that follows particular conventions. You will learn the building blocks of Web API and how to leverage them to have a well-rounded API. Understanding these small but important tricks will make development faster, easier, and more pleasant, and will prevent time-consuming errors. Part I introduces you to the basics of Web. Part II gets you started creating an API that you will use and build upon throughout the book until you have a complete project. All companion code is available via GitHub. Part III covers more advanced concepts, including how to override out-of-the-box conventions to customize an API to meet your specific business needs. By the end of the book you will have a fully functional API, and you will be better prepared for an interview for a .NET backend developer job. What You Will LearnBuild a start-to-finish Web APIKnow the main concepts of the WebApply best practices in API development to your own projectsKnow the fundamentals of Web API developmentKnow the fundamentals of a RESTful APILeverage Web API constructs to implement a clean and extensible APIGet hands-on experience to unit test a Web APIGain the skills required to apply for a junior or entry-level .NET Web developer jobWho This Book Is ForDevelopers who want to learn API development with .NET.

Modern Oracle Database Programming - Alex Nuijten - Bog - APress - Plusbog.dk

Level up your skill set to the latest that Oracle Database can offer. This book introduces features that are not well known that can transform your development efforts. You''ll discover built-in functionality that can save you massive amounts of time that otherwise would be spent reinventing the wheel. You''ll find that what used to take a lot of programming some years ago can be done with less code in a more reliable way today. Anyone using Oracle Database without the knowledge in this book is leaving valuable functionality-that their company has paid for-on the table, and this book opens the door to that functionality so that you can deliver reliable and performant solutions faster and more easily than ever. Part I looks at features in SQL and PL/SQL that are underused and not well known. You''ll learn about new join types, pattern matching across rows, Top N pagination (useful in reporting!), qualified expressions, and enhancements to iterators that reduce code complexity and make your logic easier to understand. Part II covers how and when to invoke PL/SQL from SQL while maintaining performance. You''ll learn about SQL macro functions for creating reusable SQL fragments, polymorphic table functions with return types determined by incoming argument types, and constructing and parsing JSON documents for data interchange with other systems. Part III introduces a vast array of built-in functionality that Oracle provides that is just waiting to be used. Edition-based redefinition enables zero-downtime application and schema upgrades. Data redaction enables easier compliance with privacy laws and similar regulations by protecting sensitive data from those who have no need to see it. Virtual private databases provide the appearance of giving each user their own database, again helping to secure sensitive data. These features are just a taste of what the book provides. Soon you''ll be improving your skills and wondering why you ever worked so hard to solve problems that Oracle Database already solves for you. What You Will Learn - Write more powerful code by incorporating underused features in SQL and PL/SQL - Optimize your integration between SQL and PL/SQL for best performance - Take advantage of enhanced set operators, lateral joins, row-based pattern matching, and other advanced features in SQL - Make your code easier to understand through your use of newer PL/SQL features, such as qualified expressions and iterator enhancements - Integrate with web services and external data sources directly from the database - Create and parse JSON documents for easy data exchange and flexible schema design Who This Book Is For Any developer who is writing SQL or PL/SQL, PL/SQL experts who want to level up their knowledge and skills to the latest features that Oracle Database provides, and developers who don''t want to write their own solutions only to find out later that they''ve wasted their time by building something that Oracle Database provides out of the box
