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 of the video course have access to a private discussion area where they can interact with the instructors asking questions related to the lectures and the exercises.

  • Stefan Feldmann (Oct 27, 2019)

    Hello, Alberto and Marco. Thank you very much for this excellent course, which teaches complex topics in an understandable and plausible way. To be honest, the course is not easy and requires concentration and discipline. Many questions and traps have disappeared and laid a good foundation and understanding for future reports. Now it will be a matter of practice and experience to consolidate this knowledge. The examples, slides, but also the book "The Definitive Guide to DAX (2nd Edition)" serve as an optimal reference to me. I can only explicitly recommend this course to all those who want to practice professional reporting in combination with DAX. Best regards Stefan Feldmann

  • Anicet TCHOKOTHE (Oct 17, 2019)

    Very good Course, presentation, explanations. Thanks Marco and Alberto

  • Yves Goux (Sep 24, 2019)

  • Aaron Saunders (Sep 16, 2019)

    An incredibly detailed course! Highly recommend it to anyone using Power BI and wanting to improve their DAX skills/knowledge.

  • Claudio Trombini (Sep 14, 2019)

    Corso fantastico!! Consueta qualità!!! Davvero complimenti

  • CAROLINE NDUTA (Sep 5, 2019)

    I have just finished my course only to find out that I have only done 97% How do I locate the 3% not covered?

    • – You should check in your course what are the lessons that are not marked as "completed" - you can change them manually (maybe the browser did not send the notification for some video you already watched).

  • cosmin ioan (Aug 2, 2019)

    the most in-depth DAX course on the market! Great presentation & mix of demos and scripts! many thanks, Alberto, Marco, for the wealth of knowledge and effort put into creating such a fantastic course!!

  • Elly Winters (Jul 24, 2019)

    Fantastic course! I feel like I levelled up a lot in my journey to learn DAX with this course. I really appreciated how complex concepts were presented in an easy to understand way. Thank you Alberto and Marco for delivering such great content.

  • Muhammad Bilal Azim (Jul 15, 2019)

    I will describe this course by by using a line from first Avengers movie "The DAX video course has shown me so much. It's more than knowledge. It's truth" The content and flow of topics from start to finish is so elegantly structured, its perfect. I am from accounting background without any background in coding or programming and still able to understand the concepts taught in the course as they have been delivered in such an elegant manner Thank you Marco and Alberto
