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.

    Your course is awesome

  • Fabrizio Renzi (May 21, 2024)

    Very nice course! I love how they explain what is happening "behind the scenes" and how they put emphasis on explaining what DAX is doing and why. I believe this is a fundamental aspect of learning things (especially in programming) that is often overlooked. I am still a junior with DAX but after this course I feel it is clicking in my head. Bravi!

    Fantastic course. It helped explain concepts that I could not understand by simply reading the textbook.
