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.

    Great course. The most useful bits were for me the introduction to DAX and PowerBI UI and step by step examples of calculating new columns, measures and using table functions. The part on evaluation contexts provided useful theory to build upon.

    Please change your helper guy, the one who edits the tables. Is he purposefully rude or something?

    • – Hi Uddipta, Thank you for the 5*. What you may have experienced is Italian culture at its finest :) Claire
