Oh boy, have we done a lot of Power BI work. We've extracted data, created visualizations, and reviewed how to share and refresh the data. Now, it's time to learn my favorite part: polishing the data. This is normally done between extracting the data and creating visualizations. We waited until the end to show it because creating visualizations is so easy, while editing is a little more complicated. Editing is not hard, but it is harder, and we didn't want to scare you off. The more you read, the bigger the return on investment for this book, right? Wahoo, let's go!
