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.

It was exactly I was searching for. I started my Power BI relation with a huge confidence based on my previous experience from Access. "How complicate can be to build some visuals". At the beginning it was a real love. I created some reports I was very proud of and, of course I wanted more and more insights from my data. But, as you perfectly said, quite soon my confidence was destroyed (it was TOPN function at the beginning) and the love moved into despairing when I found myself completely lost between DAX functions that started to do whatever they wanted, not what I expected ... After reading your article about SUMMARIZE function I realize I need to go back to the foundation. I am really satisfied with what I learned today. Especially the explanations about row and filter context were meaningful. Thank you very much!
