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 well and clearly presented. Thanks.

  • Joshua Booth (Aug 29, 2022)

    Great explanation of the DAX language.

  • Danesh Sharrma Parmal (Aug 26, 2022)

    It was very informative, although this is considered basic about DAX, I feel that it was arranged and presented quite well in terms of quantity and quality. Just as Sir Winston Churchill stated so eloquently, "A good presentation is like a skirt, long enough to cover the important parts but short enough to not disregard interest" ; which I think describes this 3-hour course very well.

  • Lance Masatsugu (Aug 25, 2022)

    Great balance between theory and practice. I have some previous experience with DAX, but this course adds much needed foundation. Thank you!
