Learn valuable insights and strategies from industry experts.
Microsoft Power BI, Analysis Services and Power Pivot all run their calculations on DAX (Data Analysis Expressions). The basics look simple, but accurate, efficient calculations depend on understanding how DAX evaluates them. This 60-minute introduction to DAX helps you build that foundation and sidestep common beginner mistakes.
Through practical examples, the session covers five early lessons: the difference between calculated columns and measures, row context, filter context, context transition and how evaluation context shapes every result.
You'll move from trial-and-error toward a structured view of DAX logic, learn to build dynamic measures, debug and improve calculations, and leave with a recommended learning path. It suits newcomers to Power BI and those already building reports and models.
Many Power BI users struggle with DAX not because the syntax is hard but because evaluation context is not fully understood. Getting the right mental model early helps you write better calculations, troubleshoot faster and create more dynamic, interactive reports.
The session suits Power BI developers, data, BI, reporting, business and financial analysts, Excel power users moving to Power BI, self-service BI users and anyone building reports or models in Power BI, Excel, Analysis Services Tabular or Microsoft Fabric.
