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.

    Complimenti, corso interessantissimo spiegato davvero bene, grazie ai sottotitoli in Italiano ho potuto seguirlo senza problemi, dato il mio inglese non molto "evoluto". Seguirò sicuramente i successivi

    Great course, thank you! One note for presentors, by standing in front of the presentation, we miss a lot of the text explaining the different subjects.

  • MAHAK SINGH (Feb 8, 2022)

    Excellent

  • Pablo Abad (Feb 7, 2022)

    Very good explanation of DAX. Thank you very much

  • Emiliano Alvarez (Feb 6, 2022)

    It is an excellent course to know the basics and to understand the foundations of DAX.

  • Richard Gilbert (Feb 2, 2022)

    Thanks for the most coherent description of DAX that I have found in my 5 years of working with it. You mentioned as a next step "improving (my) models by adding DAX." I won't be doing that. Instead I'll be improving my models by replacing some really bad DAX with code based on what I learned in this course. Thanks very much!

  • Nikhil Sable (Feb 2, 2022)

    It is a great introductory course for some one who is looking to learn or start out with DAX
