DAX Patterns: Parameter table

These are in-depth video lectures of the Parameter table pattern.

This pattern is used to create parameters in a report, so that users can interact with slicers and dynamically change the behavior of the report itself. For example, a report can show the top N products by category, letting the users decide through a slicer if they want to see 3, 5, 10 or any other number of best products. The values available for a parameter must be stored in one or more disconnected tables, which do not have a relationship with any other tables of the same model. This chapter includes several examples with the parameter table, but this pattern has an even broader range of application.

    Excellent, In depth explanation of how DAX works, when to use it and why we might want to that particular DAX or pattern given a particular business challenge we are trying to solve. Detailed focused, well built out in logical sequenced steps...Exceptional work! Bloody good job guys!
