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.

    Thank you! Very good courses and wished I could have found it a year ago when first started using PowerBI!

    Great content! Clearly explained and demonstrated on the lectures and examples. All of the really important basics on DAX are here on this free course

  • Jane Wheeler (Oct 1, 2020)

    I am preparing the DA-100 exam and I have gone through a course on Udemy and a book. They are both good, though the course is mainly about how to use Power BI, whereas the book focuses on theories. Finally, this course links the practice and theory together and now I understand DAX more than ever!
