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. Within the course you can download the material for all the exercises.
Students have access to a private discussion area where they can interact with the instructors asking questions related to the lectures and the exercises.

Great course with a great attention to detail and a easy to follow step-wise learning module. The explanations of the presenters are very clear. The excercises however often included subjects and code of future lectures, that made some excercises nearly impossible to solve with the current knowledge. This demotivates a bit, as solving excercises correctly makes you want to continue, whereas continuous struggling with the excerices is a tad annoying.
- – Hi Wout, just a clarification: the Advanced exercise we have in the initial chapters have been included for people who start the course with existing knowledge of DAX. For this reason, they have additional prerequisites. Only the Basic exercise should be completed with the knowledge provided in each section, the Advanced one should be considered optional. We included them because we had the request for more challenging exercises in the initial sections.
However, we have to better explain this in the video course, we are working on that and it should be fixed soon.
Thanks for your feedback!

The course is excellent and gave you a complete view of DAX. I believe it would be important to talk about M, then it would be a deep insight into Power BI

excellent training and awesome trainers

Marco and Alberto are Amazing. Explaining DAX is not easy. Marco and Alberto make it easy for understanding. Exercises provided are super amazing. Makes you think hard and this, in turn, helps you grow. On the other hand, Sergio quickly replies back to your discussions with appropriate answers. By the time we finish the course, we feel like a family. Family of DAX. Thank you.

Finally I am done. Learned a lot of DAX concepts. Thanks
- Ka Ly (Aug 14, 2020)
Absolutely wonderful course. Alberto and Marco are Professionals at the highest level with the ability to teach highly complex topics in DAX. I will have to watch this course and review the book several times to get all the knowledge that they are presenting. I highly recommend this course for all Power BI users. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

I am amazed by the amount of work you have put in this video course. Very interesting and didactic. I would have appreciated Power BI demos for the new chapter on calculation groups. In conclusion, you made me realize what I want to work for my future career. Many thanks!

This is the most comprehensive course you will find on DAX anywhere. I found it helps to read along in the book ("The Definitive Guide to DAX") and then watch the videos as I go. The book mirrors the course content and order almost exactly. The one thing I hope they improve on are the exercises. For most modules there are one to three exercises but for some there are none. I would definitely understand the content and retain the knowledge better if there were more examples to work out for each module. While some people who take this course can apply the knowledge directly to there work others, like myself, don't work with DAX in our days jobs but eventually want to so the more exercises we can try the better. It could even benefit from quiz's along the way and a test at the end.

Hi Alberto and Marco, Great course. Actually it was much more than I expected and I will surely revisit the content many times.

I am a business consultant that in the past 2 years transitioned from conventional data analytics tools (a.k.a "excel") to more sophisticated data analytics and data science engines. I had been looking for a long time for a comprehensive course on DAX and PowerBI, that covered enough theory to consider myself a DAX developer, and feel comfortable writing complex code in DAX for more sophisticated business applications. I am very happy to say that THIS IS THE COURSE. It is the perfect balance between a pragmatic and a theoretical approach. It has helped me skill-up to the next level in DAX and I found it to be the best course available in the market. Other training programs are too "generic", they cover only the basics and leave a lot of loopholes. They try to get you something “fast” and “simple” so you can apply PowerBI right away, but such courses don’t make you a DAX expert, just a superficial analyst. This course is the only one that again, really skills you up to the next level to consider yourself a true DAX coder. Cant wait to take the Optimizing DAX course! Congratulations to Alberto and Marco, I am your #1 FAN.

This was the best course I have ever followed and not only with regards to Business Intelligence. Congratulations to all the SQLBI staff
- Sandeep Singh (Jul 13, 2020)
I have just completed 50% of the course, and honestly I can understand the mechanics of DAX, this is not an beginner course for sure, but it will take your DAX knowledge to the next level. Can't wait to start on reading the book - 'Definitive Guide to DAX - 2nd Edition' after completing this. I have just a suggestion, if new exercises are added constantly modelled after real life business problems, the course would have warranted 6 stars. But the included examples are tough and in depth to test you knowledge of DAX. Bow down to DAX wizards, Marco Russo and Alberto Ferrari!!
