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.

    DAX is greatly explained. I guess I built solid foundations on the language

  • Muhammad Imran (Dec 4, 2020)

    It was a wonderful experience particularly the explanation of row and filter context. I am working in Power BI but I never understand it better than now. Thanks for creating such a wonderful program.

    Thank YOU!!! As a stand-alone introduction or a companion to your excellent definitive guide to DAX, I highly recommend this course to all.

  • John Barbery (Nov 22, 2020)

    I really like this course, very clear, good timing and excellent content. Not sure about the interaction between 2 instructors, I think 1 would be enough. I am very happy with this knowledge. Thank you vm.

    EXCELLENT! Me ha gustado mucho. Sugerencia:The last part for Time Intelligence, I have a litle confuse with the calculate and functions time intelligence; it's posible that I need practice more and more!! ;-)
