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.

    Excellent Introduction to DAX Course

  • Harvey Ijieh (Sep 11, 2024)

    I totally agree with you, when you say you have to understand the theory of DAX. its not just writing DAX, you have to know how the code works and why they work. Cheers.

    Thank you so much for these videos. I initially started with Power BI and after several searches on line to solve my requirements, this is the structured and well-presented course I needed. I am looking forward to being in one of your workshops.

    I really enjoyed this course; I found all the explanations to be comprehensive and detailed enough to allow me to better understand what happens when we implement certain functions - indeed when using combinations of functions to achieve the desired outcomes.
