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.

    Right to the point. Simple and clear way to explanation DAX

  • Noruwa Joshua (Dec 14, 2024)

    Used this to pass my PL-300 exam. Before watching this course, I hated DAX because of how I was introduced to it and as much as I tried to avoid it, the more I needed to use it. The explanations were very very good, and I came back one year later to rewatch the course.

  • Manjesh Kumar Jeevanahalli Kodandarama (Dec 12, 2024)

    I liked this course detailed explanation and even though I have been working with Power Bi I haven't been able to understand how the underlying logic works.

  • Md. Zakir Hussain Khan (Dec 8, 2024)

    I have been struggling to understand the context transition for over 2 years now and I must say that I finally be able to understand this concept through this course. Highly appreciated!

  • BNHP (Nov 14, 2024)

    Good and simple overview of the basics of DAX. Will be a good starting point for me as a new PBI user.

  • BARTŁOMIEJ WÓJCIK (Nov 7, 2024)

    Great course, explaining all the basic formulas and the relationships between them. I will be returning to this course often.

  • Andreas Scott Pedersen (Nov 5, 2024)

    Great, easy to understand - could have been rehearsed a bit more. Not that accessible when you talked over each other (and I wasnt sure if your arguments with each other were real or part of your performance?) Other than that great, and can I really complain when this is free and high quality?
