Mastering DAX Video Course
This is the video course version of the Mastering DAX workshop.
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 learn and master the DAX language.
The goal of the course is to teach all the features of DAX, providing the knowledge to write formulas for common and advanced business scenarios. The video course is made up of over 15 hours of lectures, plus another 15-20 hours of individual exercises. You can watch the videos at anytime and the system will keep track of your progress.

excellent course. would be completely lost in Power BI without it. Alberto and Marco not only know the domain inside out, they have put many, many hours into thinking about how best to teach the material and then deliver with absolute clarity.

- Robert Wolf (Dec 18, 2020)
I thought the course was extremely well done. Well worth the price, but more importantly the time. I spent 1/2 hour a day on the course and felt I got a lot out of it. I have gleaned new techniques and new a new understanding of DAX. However, I still don't feel like I am on the level I would like to be. There were times when things were just beyond my understanding. So I must keep working. If you want to attain a high level of DAX and you are willing to put the time into it, this is the course. I feel like Marco and Alberto are my partners and teachers in my quest to get my head really around DAX. I still have a while to go, but I will keep plugging away. The fact that they have added the video explanation of the exercises is a big plus. That happened just as I was finishing the course. I have a feeling I may go thru the course again at some time. Thanks Marco and Alberto for putting this course together. Very Well done. Rob Wolf

Thank You for your best quality materials I think this materials is the best one for DAX in the world it covers almost of DAX from basic to intermediate to advanced level its along dive, my next step is to read The Comprehensive Guide for DAX 2nd Edition also Dax Patterns, also my back ground is not IT or DABA I am just an accountant I have interest with these staffs, but I have last favor the DAX Patterns 2nd Edition is amazing but I need a book about Financial Accounting & Managerial Accounting Like preparing Balance Sheet Income Statement & Cash Flows also for Costing like preparing Bill of Materials Flexible Budget with Power BI and DAX Patterns on the same methodology of DAX Patterns Book. Thanks Allot Mahmood Humodah CMA
