Power BI — DAX Language from Scratch
Intermediate 14 hours English Completion Certificate Certificate
About this course
This course focuses exclusively on DAX — Power BI's formula language — from first syntax through advanced patterns: calculated columns vs measures, evaluation context, filter context modification with CALCULATE, and time intelligence functions for year-over-year comparisons and running totals.
Taught by Leila Gharani, one of the most respected Power BI educators online. The course is laser-focused on DAX mastery rather than the broader Power BI interface — ideal for analysts who already know the tool and want to unlock its full analytical power.
What you'll learn
Write DAX measures and calculated columns with correct evaluation context
Use CALCULATE and FILTER to modify filter context in complex measures
Build time intelligence calculations for YoY, MTD, and rolling averages
Design data models that make DAX measures simple and performant
Debug DAX formulas using DAX Studio
