DAX can be scary, but it shouldn't be that way. Data Analysis eXpressions (DAX) knowledge is critical to take full advantage of data in Power BI. Trying to master DAX without learning the basics is a mistake I have seen Power BI developers make very often. If you want to master DAX, learning the basic key concepts is a must.
DAX is a unique programming language and it's easy to give up if you are not committed to learning it. Most users find DAX difficult to understand. This is true, especially for users with a background in Excel and SQL. In Excel and SQL you can see how the formulas/queries work; whereas, in DAX everything happens behind the scenes. Therefore, in this course, one of my goals is to teach you how to overcome the common pitfalls and face DAX calculations with confidence moving forward.
If you are ready to dive deeper into the DAX language, this is the time to join my DAX Basics in Power BI Desktop course.
See you in class!
