    I am preparing the DA-100 exam and I have gone through a course on Udemy and a book. They are both good, though the course is mainly about how to use Power BI, whereas the book focuses on theories. Finally, this course links the practice and theory together and now I understand DAX more than ever!

    Great course. Alberto does an excellent job in not just showing you how to write DAX but teaching you how it works and understanding the language. Highly recommended for anyone trying to learn the language.
