He's currently working towards his second PhD at Queensland University of Technology. Omid has authored six books in the field of Excel in Farsi, along with several articles in industry journals (\u003ci\u003eElectric Power Systems Research, Journal of Building Engineering, Energy, Neural Computing and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e, and more). His primary reason for writing his first book in English is the lack of a comprehensive and complete reference for Power Query functions. He decided to fill this gap by writing one himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 392\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 02, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47408267493554,"sku":"9781484297537","price":48.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/5908eeaa005e6b9ab385f42dbba2bf2f.webp?v=1778240335","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-ultimate-guide-to-functions-in-power-query-turn-raw-data-into-actionable-insights-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
