    This is the best Video Course to learning DAX, for me. It explains the main things you need to know to start using language. Thanks to a series of examples, even what is not easy, such the transition context, is made simple and immediate. Good job.

    Very explanatory !!!

    Please limit only 1 coach/presenter in the course, as the another guy behind the keyboard is just keeps on interrupting the presenter and also making the whole course like a chaos. It's hard for the viewer to grasp the flow and understand the basic.
