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.

You guys are awesome! But it would be good if there are some parts where you both didn't talk over each other.

This is the best DAX course that I ever had. Alberto Ferrari and Marco Russo are the real DAX masters and they know how to teach. Thank you

Great Course and well done. Sometimes a bit fast but you can always pause and try out if you understood the topics. Thanks for putting the course out !!

This was a very good free intro to DAX course, I was however I did have issues with the comments sections, the comments not loading or loading very slowly
- – We use DISQUS to manage comments. We noticed that it is slow on Microsoft Edge but it works much better on Chrome and the new Edge version based on Chromium (not released yet). Which browser version are you using?

Dax is more than a functional language, it is a gateway to endless possibilities. I am privileged and opportune to learn from the Dexterous Masters of Dax

Excellent presentation!

Very good. About the only thing I would've like to have also seen is consideration of query performance. Example: There was discussion of RELATEDTABLE and also of CALCULATE. If one is creating a calculated column in the Customer table for TotalSales, there is the option of basing the calculation on either function. Would be nice to know the performance implications of the choice. But maybe that's for the Mastering class.
- – There is a specific course for this: Optimizing DAX!
However, RELATEDTABLE and CALCULATE have the same behavior because RELATEDTABLE is just an alias for CALCULATETABLE. Performance is the same.
