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.

    The course is very clear and gives students a good understanding of the how the DAX engine works at the appropriate level for a user of Power BI, without being too terse or complicated.

    Curso ótimo. Conteúdo de alto nível. Os professores demonstram dominante conhecimentos e os passam muito bem. Gostei da didática, da metodologia de conversação, enquanto ensinam, gostei também dos recursos para entregar os conteúdos: plataforma de acesso, materiais de apoio, etc. Desejo que perdure o sucesso deste trabalho.

    Amazing! Already have 2 of your books, may sign up for a course. Thank you!

  • James Barnes (Sep 14, 2021)

    I just wanted a refresher since I hadn't used DAX in a while, and wow, did I learn a lot. Much more than syntax about specific functions, this course teaches you how DAX is working and how to think about it. Bravo!
