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.

Marco and Alberto have provided tremendous insight into the internal workings of the DAX language in a consumable and powerful course. After taking this course I feel fully equipped to face situations with a stronger understanding of the underlying concepts related to the DAX functions and capabilities. Thanks SQL BI!

Perfect course. can't wait for the next ssas training ! thanks guys for your efforts

Thank you very much for the Course! It's Great! Labs was interesting and difficult for me. Now I need more practice after it. I think that at this moment I understand more about filter and row context, propagation, date lineage, filtering, querying, relationships. Waiting your new book "The Definitive Guide to DAX" second edition. Thank you again!

thank you very much! very detailed and helpful!

Generally, I think that the course is good. It could be improved to be excellent by adding more detail in the exercises and their solutions. For example, although most tables and pivot tables are obvious to set up, some are not. So, clear descriptions of which fields to use for the rows, columns, and values would improve the courses. In addition, explanations, perhaps in the form of comments in the DAX code, describing the rationale and logic for the solutions would be good (e.g. why something had to be done a specific way).
- – Thanks for the feedback. In a few weeks we'll release a new version of this video course (and you will get automatic access, of course), which will include a brand new set of exercises. We considered all the feedbacks we received and while we are not able to satisfy all the requests, I hope that you will enjoy the new format.

This course teaches DAX by a theoretical and a practical point of view, clarifying DAX inner working aspects, when needed to understand its behaviour. The teachers' exposition is very clear and their knowledge of the subject is astounding.
- Thijs Nijhuis (Feb 1, 2019)
Excellent course! Great balance between theory and practise. The only thing I found hard was to compare my own solution (if different from the given anwer) to yours. I assume my solution would be less good but why? And how would it compare in terms of performance. Perhaps providing different solution would be helpful in that case.

Excellent Course, I have been using Power BI for a few years now and wish I had taken this course from the beginning.... "Would have saved me many sleepless nights"
- Jürg Jenny (Jan 2, 2019)
This exceptional course provides 10 hours of high quality video tutorials. All the concepts of DAX are explained in detail and in a comprehensible and pleasant way. To sum it up: This course the way to go if you want to become a DAX master. Thank you very much for creating such great content! The only point that could be improved in my opinion: Provide more exercises. The contained labs are very good and I think working through them helps the most to really learn the DAX language. But there are so many functions introduced in the course that are not used in the labs. Having a larger set of exercises (including the solutions) would help to dive even deeper in the DAX world. Apart from that: GREAT WORK!

Excellent course!
- Asier Barbarin (Dec 11, 2018)
Excellent. It helped me a lot to understand key concepts
- Yadhuram MC (Nov 30, 2018)
This is Awesome. This would be like a Bible of DAX and I will refer this always
- Garth Zoller (Nov 25, 2018)
Before the course, I knew nothing about coding in DAX. The course instructors and content were clear, relevant, and accommodated a variety of skill levels. Also, the labs are helpful to practice and recall what I learned. After completing the course, I am already using DAX to solve common data challenges.
- Chidiebere Agbara (Nov 13, 2018)
I enjoyed the DAX programming.
- Eduardo Rocha Clemente (Oct 10, 2018)
The course is very dense, as I expect but the many growing concepts and the hard exercises are in a level that not correspond to the video classes. Video classes are easy and in a lower level presented. Perhaps , as a suggestion you could send us videos about the exercises resolution. The forum in that case is not enough. I realized that was a "jump" between the classes and exercises. Intermediate exercises between them could be another strategy to consolidate the concepts before going direct to the complex exercises.
- – Eduardo, thanks for the feedback. Any example of intermediate exercises would be useful - we know that we have several exercises that we consider basic or intermediate, and we can imagine what you consider advanced, but a more detailed explanation would be very useful for our evaluation. Thanks!
