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.

    This was great. I really enjoyed the format with the two teachers and the zoom screen. The pedagogical aspect was excellent, with fairly simple functions and focus on understanding the concepts hiding behind. Thank you for this!

    Great Course and very good guidance how to start your journey in PowerBI with the right fundamentals and giving you the tools needed to check the code you write and get a deeper understanding of how it works. Very, very well done guys.

    Very well presented.

  • HIDEYUKI FUKUI (Apr 21, 2022)

    This is an excellent DAX course for DAX beginners. It emphasizes the importance of understanding basic concepts such as measures vs calculated columns, and the row context vs the filter context. Those are particularly confusing concepts for people with Excel experience only. The cource lays good foundation to undestand DAX.
