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.
I love this video course!. Excellent and simple explanations of the most used DAX functions and are available at any time you need them. Thanks Marco and Alberto, keep going doing with this kind of courses.

Hi Marco , Alberto. The course is absolutely amazing. After going through this course, I bought your "Data Modelling" course. Great content, excellent delivery. Just one suggestion, Is it possible to provide a data or data source from a different industry may be IT, along with list of exercises to solve. This can act as a project and also help us to test our understanding.
Thanks, Swapnil
– The reason why we use always the same sample data (Contoso) is because this allows the reader to focus on the exercise/module topics rather than the details of the implementation. This is especially true for the DAX course. For Data Modeling we already introduced different data models in order to present and to solve specific modeling problems. However, in those cases the amount of data included is very limited. The reason is that sample data must satisfy a number of requirements and not create any issue related to privacy, NDA, and advertising. The Contoso sample database is a huge investment that Microsoft made 10-15 years ago. In such a database, all the names have been cleared for publishing. Similar investments are certainly not possible for a single video course. Therefore, while we agree that adding specific industry-related models would be very useful, it is unlikely to happen - at least considering a data model populated with reasonable data, like Contoso and Adventure Works.

Outstanding! an incredibly full and thorough course. Thanks Marco and Alberto for creating such a valuable product for those who seek to expand knowledge in DAX.

The best platform to learn and implement DAX.
Thanks for all the awesome videos.

This is very good class and is very involved. I will have to re-watch some of the parts of the class and re-do the exercises. The main problem with DAX for anyone who is coming from T-SQL experience is that the principles to query the data are very different. You need to reconfigure your brain.

Great course! Highly recommended and sharing my experience on LinkedIn. I found the course challenging and insightful and while I didn't get the format right on many exercises the first try, I did understand the concepts; so I felt the delivery of training was impeccable. I passed exam 70-779 Excel and this course will help me secure a passing score in 70-778 PowerBI. I fully intend to continue my studies here with the next level courses. Thanks again! Tom

They did it again. Excellent work. I decided to do the 2nd Edition in full and I'm more than happy that I did it. New approaches, new insights, new DAX functions! Marco and Alberto are really what is excellence in DAX and teaching! Also happy for the extended period to enjoy the new content. Thanks again Maestros!

Hello, Alberto and Marco.
Thank you very much for this excellent course, which teaches complex topics in an understandable and plausible way. To be honest, the course is not easy and requires concentration and discipline. Many questions and traps have disappeared and laid a good foundation and understanding for future reports. Now it will be a matter of practice and experience to consolidate this knowledge. The examples, slides, but also the book "The Definitive Guide to DAX (2nd Edition)" serve as an optimal reference to me. I can only explicitly recommend this course to all those who want to practice professional reporting in combination with DAX.
Best regards
Stefan Feldmann
