Microsoft Power BI DAX and Data Modeling
IPA-M102
Basic data models are simple to construct using Power BI Desktop. However, Data Analysis Expressions are required if you wish to report across time periods—for example, to display year-over-year growth or to compare sales or other data by month or quarter (DAX). DAX is a programming language for creating Power BI calculations that extend your data model.
Learn how to use DAX aggregate functions and add calculated columns, build measurements, and use DAX logical and filter functions and recommended practices for data model construction and optimization.
Whether you're using Power BI Desktop, Power Pivot in Excel, or Analysis Services, learning Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) is essential to creating effective data models.
Training Duration: 5 Days
