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.

  • Asad M (Oct 17, 2023)

    Fantastic course. I was (and remain) ambivalent about using a lot of DAX (proprietary and prone to overuse) in my solutions. This course singularly helped break some myths I held, I immediately ordered Russo+Ferrari's 2 DAX books and I am looking forward to diving into them. The concept of 'table functions' and 'evaluation context' should be required mastery for anyone presenting themselves as a Power BI expert.

    Thank you, it was very interesting and useful to study your course :)

    This gives you a very strong foundation for the DAX and when comes to applicability, this knowledge gives you more sense of meaning for the formulas you use. I am here after working on DAX for a while, now when I look back on the work I did, it gives me more broader understanding of what I did. This is a must knowledge who is working on visualisation projects
