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.

    OK

  • Austin Price (Apr 14, 2023)

    As someone with previous experience utilizing PowerBI, this course helped me understand how DAX reads data and executes the built in functions. 10/10 would recommend.

  • John Greene (Apr 6, 2023)

    Would have been much better without the constant interruptions from the person operating the computer. He should have let the instructor instruct! Very frustrating for a student new to Power BI and DAX!

  • Nury Butron (Apr 5, 2023)

    I think, the best possible way of learning DAX is definitely "sqlbi". Thank you sqlbi team for your wonderful effort.
