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.

Thank you Marco and Alberto! Your course helped me see how wrong is the "Excel table mentality" when working in DAX.

Great course. I highly recommend starting out with DAX to take this course.

Great! Helped explain early chapters of your book. Reading can get a bit tiring, so nice to sit back and watch and listen. Thanks!

It is said that it is the mark of a genius to explain complex concepts in a simple manner. Thank you Alberto and Mark, you are geniuses!

This is great course. One thing I am still missing - does CALCULATE add row context to existing filter or completely change existing filter?
- Wynand Coetzee (Oct 5, 2017)
Nice intro into DAX , thanks guys. Sometimes I still want to write DAX like I do TSQL..so it is a mind set change that I am learning and enjoying.

Great course. I will refer back over and over again. My only suggestion is to add a transcript so I can easily refer back to a certain section.

Wow, I didn't expect an introduction course to teach me about the iterator functions ...what an amazing tool to replace my reliance on calculated columns! I would have awarded five (5) stars if there was a bit more story telling ...it would be nice to have a few laughs from your many years of experience teaching DAX.

To fast pace, specially the "not visible" guy running the demo in PowerBI - some extent annoying to hear the two discuss typos etc. Otherwise fine for a free course.
