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.

    I liked it very much, thanks for creating and sharing this course! I appreciate that "theoretical" part about context in particular. It was very useful for me and I think I will come back to these videos in the nearest future. To be honest, sometimes that idea of adding "dialogues" (with Alberto from behind the scene) was a bit annoying, but it's a matter of individual taste, so no complains here, haha :)
