Google

Best for: General Advice

Google is a friend when trying to sift through the Power BI content out there. I would make sure that you include one of the following keywords depending on what you are trying to achieve.

POWER BI – always – you don’t want excel or other software.

DAX or Power Query or visual or chart – this will make sure you get to the right part of the tool.

Power BI Documentation

Best for: When you want basic, but curated content

The Documentation has guides for business users all the way up to Admins. This is basic sometimes and hard to search for topics but is other wise well curated.

When you google something 80% of the time you will have results from this community site. I would familiarise yourself with the format of the Q&A but searching by topic via google is the best way to find something.
