This is the video course version of the Mastering DAX workshop. 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 learn and master the DAX language.
The goal of the course is to teach all the features of DAX, providing the knowledge to write formulas for common and advanced business scenarios. The video course is made up of over 15 hours of lectures, plus another 15-20 hours of individual exercises. You can watch the videos at anytime and the system will keep track of your progress. Within the course you can download the material for all the exercises.
Students have access to a private discussion area where they can interact with the instructors asking questions related to the lectures and the exercises.
fantastic course...you are the best even if DAX IS NOT EASY AT ALL!

Excellent! Content was explained in a pedagogical and practical way (on the "demo machine"). Many basic concepts became much clearer along the way.
It would have been good to go through the data lineage parts early in the course, since that functionality is not intuitive to e.g. SQL Developers (as mentioned in one of those videos), but affects how one thinks the engine works and thus how one writes code.
Also, I think it would have been helpful, at least for me, to visualize the propagation of filters throughout the course - e.g. through the use of Dax Studio (like how a filtered dimension table filters Sales, for instance). Since all this happens automatically, it becomes a bit of an abstraction.
– Thanks for the feedback, it is very valuable!
We know there are students with different backgrounds and the current examples are not specifically targeted to people who have a programmer or SQL knowledge. We are working on additional material that should provide exampled more familiar to those having different former experiences, like the one you indicated. We are going to improve the searches on our website, too - in the meantime, you can take a look at our YouTube channel where we post additional free videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/sqlbitv - They do not cover the specific topic you mentioned, but you might find interesting content, too.
Regarding the tools, we are also investing on that side to get better visualizations also for the educational part. You will see the result of these efforts later this year. Reply by SQLBI (Jan 30, 2021)

WOW, great course!
My thanks to Marco, Alberto and Sergio for the great learning.

excellent course. would be completely lost in Power BI without it. Alberto and Marco not only know the domain inside out, they have put many, many hours into thinking about how best to teach the material and then deliver with absolute clarity.

I thought the course was extremely well done. Well worth the price, but more importantly the time. I spent 1/2 hour a day on the course and felt I got a lot out of it. I have gleaned new techniques and new a new understanding of DAX. However, I still don't feel like I am on the level I would like to be. There were times when things were just beyond my understanding. So I must keep working. If you want to attain a high level of DAX and you are willing to put the time into it, this is the course. I feel like Marco and Alberto are my partners and teachers in my quest to get my head really around DAX. I still have a while to go, but I will keep plugging away. The fact that they have added the video explanation of the exercises is a big plus. That happened just as I was finishing the course. I have a feeling I may go thru the course again at some time. Thanks Marco and Alberto for putting this course together. Very Well done.

Thank You for your best quality materials I think this materials is the best one for DAX in the world it covers almost of DAX from basic to intermediate to advanced level its along dive, my next step is to read The Comprehensive Guide for DAX 2nd Edition also Dax Patterns, also my back ground is not IT or DABA I am just an accountant I have interest with these staffs, but I have last favor the DAX Patterns 2nd Edition is amazing but I need a book about Financial Accounting & Managerial Accounting Like preparing Balance Sheet Income Statement & Cash Flows also for Costing like preparing Bill of Materials Flexible Budget with Power BI and DAX Patterns on the same methodology of DAX Patterns Book.
Thanks Allot

Exceeded Expectation. I thought I knew DAX fairly well before this course, but it was an eye opening experience. They are hands down THE BEST instructors out there for DAX.
