Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “For example, the commonly used CALCULATE function in DAX is a super-charged version of the SUM-IF Excel function.”

A block of code is set as follows:

Total Sales by Category =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Sales'[Sales Amount]),
    ALLEXCEPT('Sales', 'Sales'[Product Category])
)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

py -m pip install --user matplotlib
py -m pip install --user pandas

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Connect to this CSV using Power BI Desktop by selecting Get data in the toolbar and then Text/CSV.”
