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.

    Very nicely explained along with the context switching was very useful for me and closed a lot of the grey area I previously had

    At first, I thought I may have difficulty understanding Alberto's Accent. But as I progressed in the course, I got used to him very much. And also, when I watch his explanation, I can observe the experience he has and his command over the concepts. Just awesome Alberto sir and I am very much satisfied by taking your DAX course.
