This is an introductory video course about the DAX language. DAX is the native language of Power BI, Analysis Services, Power Pivot for Excel. The training is aimed at users of Power BI, Excel, and at Fabric and 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 semantic models in Fabric, on Power Pivot and on Analysis Services.

The course is made of 84 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 initial Power BI file used in the demos.

    I have been using DAX for several months and I must recognize I have learned just a little in comparison with the real power of the language. Thanks Alberto and Marco for sharing your deep knowledge and expertise.

  • Jaderson Almeida (May 3, 2018)

    Excellent content and I loved the way instructors interact each other. It brings a more realistic and live training session feeling. If this was one of the targets, so, well done!

    Brought together in a logical fashion, the theory of Dax, with examples and lecture. Turns on the light, allowing advancement with understanding. I will be re-watching several time, and will gain a deeper knowledge. Job well done.

    Good teachers. Great course.

  • Jack Wells (Apr 27, 2018)

    Wish I had watched this when I first started using Power BI.

  • Rega Sanyoto (Apr 25, 2018)

    The video courses are very good and simple to understand !

  • Eduardo Rocha Clemente (Apr 18, 2018)

    As an introduction course is good enough to taste, but it doens't show a kind of roadmap for mastering DAX. Perhaps is a good idea to add this information right in the beginning of the course

  • Bare Udusegbe (Apr 15, 2018)

    Great intro to the "beautiful language" DAX!

  • Alec Guerenstein (Apr 14, 2018)
