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.

I'm not new to data manipulation, having spent many years with Excel (prior to Power Pivot) and SQL, and I enjoy teaching myself new software by jumping in and making things. But I was totally new to DAX and Power BI, and I was struggling even with the most basic calculations - getting correct answers just by trial and error. This course was exactly what I needed to get a running start on making my own data models and visualizations! If you're not familiar with databases, relationships, and data queries, you might be a little lost. But with a basic background, these guys walk you through the logic of DAX in a very common sense kind of way. I found myself constantly thinking, "Ohhhh!!! *That's* how that works! Now it makes sense!" Thanks Alberto and Marco!

Great introductory course for the DAX language

Very informative. I have some Power BI hours under my belt, so the speed of the video lectures was not much of an issue for me, however, for those who have less experience, I can imagine them having to watch certain lectures multiple times, or at a minimum, pause and start again, which might discourage some individuals from completing the course.

Very useful information for beginners, this course is unique because it highlights with due focus some of the most important information in all of DAX, specifically regarding evaluation contexts.
- John Nickell (Apr 26, 2019)
Very good! I've been stumbling around in Dax/PowerBI and watching this course explained some of the rules behind things that I had inferred. Understanding the rules (especially filters context and how calculate modifies the context) may have gotten me past the road block I have been beating my head against! Thank you!

Very well explained

Outstanding classes. Thanks your clarify some concepts that were impossible for me to understand.

Wow!! Is it possible to get the sample dataset used in the exercises? So we can practise side by side on each topic.
- – There is an initial section where you can download the file used for the examples. This course does not have exercises, they are included in the full Mastering DAX video course.
