DAX Tools Video Course
The DAX Tools video course teaches how to use three popular tools to write and optimize DAX: DAX Studio, VertiPaq Analyzer, and Analyze in Excel for Power BI Desktop. All these tools are free and open-source.
DAX Studio allows you to write DAX queries and test your DAX measures in an environment where you can check the results and measure performance. You can also use DAX Studio to export data in different formats. VertiPaq Analyzer requires DAX Studio to export statistics and metadata about a data model that you can investigate in more detail using the dedicated tool. You can investigate in compression and get documentation about all the DAX expressions used in a model using VertiPaq Analyzer.
Analyze in Excel for Power BI Desktop makes it very handy to test your Power BI model using an Excel PivotTable without having to publish the model to the Power BI service. During the development of new DAX formulas, this tool shortens the waiting time and increases your productivity.
The course is made of 129 minutes of lectures. You can watch the videos at any time and the system will keep track of your progress. Within the course, you can download the files used in the demos.

I had just finished Mastering Dax course and went on to this free course. This also was a very good short course and it gave me insights from one source on how to use these three Power BI tools. Though some of the items were beyond my level it was still very helpful. And was one more addition on my Power BI DAX journey.

The couse was amazing, I can't wait to start the next one. However, I know that I don't have all the knowledge yet so I have to take it step by step in order to take the max benefit from it. Thanks to all the SQLBI!!

This was exactly what I was after and needed. Thank you so much. This laid the foundation for many doors to be opened and explored around evolving my craft and improving my product to my customers!

Fantastic!, The course design is simple but highly effective. The bit size chunks of information in each short session is perfect for getting acquainted with these tools. Now I (finally) feel prepared to use these tools vs stumbling through things via trial and error. Thank you!!
