Course Overview
Advanced DAX in Power BI: Exploring Advanced Techniques, Context & Filter Management, and Performance Optimization
The Advanced DAX in Power BI course is designed for individuals looking to deepen their understanding of Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) within the Power BI environment. This comprehensive course covers a wide range of topics, starting with foundational Power BI concepts such as data tables, lookup tables, and cardinality, before moving into more advanced DAX techniques and functions.
Key concepts explored in this course are filter flow, DAX operators, and the essential functions of the DAX engine, including the formula engine and the storage engine. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the VertiPaq engine and DirectQuery and will learn about compression, encoding methodologies, and the relationships between VertiPaq and Power BI models.
The course also covers DAX error handling, scalar functions, logical functions, and table manipulation functions like SELECTCOLUMNS, ADDCOLUMNS, and UNION. Additionally, you will learn about complex DAX functions such as CALCULATE, KEEPFILTERS, and context transitions with practical exercises that enhance real-world understanding.
A strong focus is placed on time intelligence, where you’ll explore date table creation, commonly used time functions like SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR, and patterns for calculating YTD (Year-To-Date) and MTD (Month-To-Date) values. Participants will also become proficient in advanced table functions and relationship management, such as USERELATIONSHIP and CROSSFILTER, which are crucial for building complex models.
By the end of this course, you will have gained the expertise needed to use DAX in Power BI efficiently, optimize reports, and tackle advanced analytical challenges. Whether you're looking to accelerate your decision-making processes or refine your Power BI models, this course will provide the tools and techniques needed to take your skills to the next level.

I have done other 2 courses in this specialization, but honestly this course was far better than those. This course was really well designed. It is more than obvious that the author has put time and effort into it.
