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.

    Super bueno!!!! Excelente!!! Lo vería varias veces, buena metodología, explicación clara, ejemplos precisos, fluidez de explicación, buena dinámica con preguntas en linea, añadido a ello, realizan comparaciones con lo aprendido anteriormente (anteriores clases que ya explicaron). Super recomendado para iniciarse con DAX. Un fuerte abrazo desde Lima - Perú.

    En mi caso particular ,acabo de introducirme a la herramienta PowerBI y no conocía nada acerca de DAX. El curso me pareció muy bueno y útil, aún así conociendo muy poco previamente. Muy acostumbrado al lenguaje de Excel, pude visualizar que DAX permite crear funciones en forma mucho más simple. Lo único que considero que se podría mejorar es respecto al lenguaje: - Ofrecer un marco teórico (PDF) en español. - Subtítulos: al hacer referencia a columnas, medidas, tablas, las mismas se subtitulan en inglés ("Margin", "Order", "Sale"...) y para un mejor entendimiento sería oportuno que se subtitule el significado ("Margen","Orden", "Venta"...), en lugar de estos términos.

    • – Hi Federico, thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, it is not economically sustainable to translate the content of the video courses. We tried in the past, but the cost is too high to guarantee good technical quality. For this reason, we now use automated translation services, which cannot provide the level of services you would like to get. Sorry about that!
