Introducing DAX Video Course

This is an introductory video course about the DAX language. DAX is the native language of Power BI, Analysis Services, Power Pivot for Excel. The training is aimed at users of Power BI, Excel, and at Fabric and 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 semantic models in Fabric, on Power Pivot and on Analysis Services.

The course is made of 84 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 initial Power BI file used in the demos.

    This was a great course! The content is clear and having access to the slides is very useful for practicing. Thank you so much for offering basic free courses, it really helps those of us who are not able to enroll in the other courses.

  • Luisina Sanguinetti (Aug 2, 2020)

    I think that it is a really dynamic course, very well explained that allows us to deeply understand the bases of this interesting programming language. The examples are vital to have a better comprehension of the topics and I really like it. I would strongly recommend this course. Thank you!

    Simply amazing. I will for sure keep learning from Marco and Alberto.

  • Paul S (Jul 31, 2020)

    Thank you! Very useful course with clear explanations. I am new to DAX and learned a lot! My only suggestion would be to slow down the actual code writing itself and speak to details as it gets written.
