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 loved the training, it has given me answers to some of the problems I have been encountering, and more that I can do with my data.

  • Kim Beck (Sep 17, 2019)

    Very good getting started review. Just wish that would be some "workshop" included in order to get some hands on with the basics and this help remember better.

    • – Thanks for the feedback! The Mastering DAX video course has more than 70 exercises that requires at least 10 hours to be completed - take a look at that!
