Introducing DAX Video Course

This is an introductory video course about the DAX language. DAX is the native language of Power BI, Analysis Services, Power Pivot for Excel. The training is aimed at users of Power BI, Excel, and at Fabric and 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 semantic models in Fabric, on Power Pivot and on Analysis Services.

The course is made of 84 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 initial Power BI file used in the demos.

  • Aziz Quazi (Oct 16, 2018)

    This is my second visit learning DAX functions incl. relationship and time intelligence. I really learned a lot, even I go through some other videos from other resources, in my second time even and from a FREE course provided by these two gentlemen. I simply cannot imagine what's inside the "Mastering-DAX". I will definitely try there. Thank you very much Sirs AF and MR for this help to this community. Rgds..Aziz

  • Cristian Anghelache (Sep 14, 2018)

    Excellent presentation, what I liked the most were the explanations regarding the way the functions work, what is actually happening in the background, understanding how the functions actually work not just what they do, brought me a high level of awareness and new I can take better use of them. Thank you very much!!!
