Introducing DAX Video Course
This is an introductory video course about the DAX language. DAX is the native language of Power BI, Power Pivot for Excel, and SSAS Tabular models in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services. The training is aimed at users of Power BI, Power Pivot for Excel, and at Analysis Services developers that want to move the first steps with DAX.
The goal is to teach the DAX language using Power BI for all the examples. You can download the initial Power BI Desktop file used in the demos and repeat all the steps shown in the videos. The same concepts can be used also on Power Pivot and on Analysis Services Tabular. The course is made of 150 minutes of lectures. You can watch the videos at anytime and the system will keep track of your advances. Within the course you can download the slides and the initial Power BI file used in the demos.

The instructor and the person controlling the PowerPoint presentation had frequent back-and-forth miscommunication. They also showed frequent disagreements. At times, the instructor was hard to hear because of his heavy accent. This led to confusion as I was following the demonstration on the Power Bi app.
- – Thank you Juan for your feedback. It is fair.
Please know that Marco and Alberto have worked hard at their English skills over the last few years, and it shows in their more recent content. As a matter of fact we are planning on releasing a new Introducing DAX video course in the medium term.

The Introducing DAX course by SQLBI is an excellent resource for anyone starting with DAX. Every concept is clearly explained with practical, hands-on demonstrations, making it easy to understand and apply. The structured approach and real-world examples really helped solidify my understanding. Highly recommended for beginners and even intermediate users looking to strengthen their DAX skills!

Very good for beginners in DAX. I’ve been working with Power BI for at least three years, but thanks to this course, I now know how to explain DAX formulas.

Turns out I was using DAX without really knowing what was going on behind the scenes, until now.

It's like a roller coaster journey. I learned new things that would help me to progress more.

I would have saved weeks of working out DAX formula to use if I'd done this course first! (Do spend a couple of days getting familiar with PowerBI /PowerPivot before starting this)
