SQLBI Days are an exceptional type of event we are launching in 2024. We are organizing one-day lectures of various levels, with Marco Russo or Alberto Ferrari on stage.
Mastering DAX
The goal of this three-day, classroom course is for the expert trainer to teach all the features of the DAX language, providing the knowledge to write formulas for common and advanced business scenarios. All the attendees will receive a copy of the book, The Definitive Guide to DAX - 2nd edition.
The classroom course includes hands-on labs: you will apply the concepts using your own notebook.
SQLBI Days – First Steps in DAX Optimization
To get the best out of this Day you must have attended Mastering DAX, either in the classroom or via the video course. Attending SQLBI Days - Advanced DAX the day before is a good idea, but that is not mandatory.
Efficient and optimized DAX code is a big part of your organization’s success: it is faster, makes users happier, and represents significant savings in terms of Power BI capacity.
If you have not had a chance to study our Optimizing DAX video course, but are working with DAX at a level where performance and capacity usage are starting to be key, you need to attend this Day. You will learn what is needed to optimize DAX and which tools to use. It will set you up to better absorb and understand farther, in-depth optimization content offered by SQLBI.
