Connect to Excel files, CSVs, databases, web data, cloud data
Data transformations — merge, append, pivot, unpivot
Clean up errors, blanks, wrong formats — no coding needed!
Use parameters & query folding for optimized performance

Handle many-to-many, inactive relationships, cross-filtering

Stage 3: DAX – Your Data’s Brain

DAX is where magic happens — formulas that unlock insights hidden deep in your data.

Master calculated columns, measures, and variables
Understand Row context, Filter context, and how DAX actually thinks
Time intelligence — YTD, QTD, MTD, YOY comparisons, moving averages
Logical & conditional calculations, ranking, segmentation
Latest DAX features like Coalesce, EvaluateAndLog, and Lineage tags
