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.

    Perfect for beginners

    Excellent!

  • Marlais Wade (Jul 11, 2022)

    Very good content. Only issue was sometimes the on-screen presenter and the person running the application talk over each-other.

  • SeeAndDreamify (Jul 11, 2022)

    Very clear for the most part, well explained. A couple of things remain a bit unclear. One is what is meant by partially changing the filter with Calculate, I don't think that is made clear. The other is the very last code example, as per what is explained in the course I would expect ALL to ignore the filter from CALCULATE, so what is even the point of having the filter there? This leads me to think that the course's explanation of ALL is not quite correct. That or I misunderstood it, in which case it could be made clearer.
