Larry Casey (Oct 31, 2017) Not enough real world examples. None of the examples will ever be used in the real world so it is very difficult to learn something when it is not taught correctly.
My suggestion, don't give us some stupid unrealistic examples to work with, give us real examples that relate to real business needs.
Not once do you provide examples of using dates to filter multiple tables or how to create relationships that calculate balances etc....
Everything is just a real water downed single table.
– The examples included in the course are intentionally focused on explaining how the DAX language works.
For this reason, they isolate specific issues that can help to understand each behavior of the language and of specific functions.
If you want to get more real-world examples, we suggest you to take a look at www.daxpatterns.com where you can find a number of templates (completely free) that can be applied to real world issues. On that site, the focus is to apply the language to the business, so you will not find there an explanation of how the language work, which is probably needed when you have to adapt a pattern to your specific scenario.
Thanks for your feedback, it will help us in clarifying the goals of the course in our marketing content. Reply by SQLBI (Nov 3, 2017)
