All I can say, thank you for this guys, I purchased both the mastering dax and the definitive guide to dax book and all I can say, starting with these two resources is hard. Follow the advice from Adam and I can assure you you will have a much easier path on your Dax journey.
Adam, your videos have been a lifesaver for my Power BI journey! 🙌 And SQLBI? Pure gold! Thanks for sharing the knowledge-you’re making the data world a better place.
For a quick refresh of DAX knowledge Ruth/Curbal is great. She can explain DAX issues in 5-10 minutes videos. It took me nine years to understand DAX beyond the basics. It´s like TSQL functions or TSQL subqueries. We went from a nice meta data based query language in MDX to this more cumbersome version. The big mistake was to start with an Excel based function approach and then extend it in to a model without clear joins and filter conditions. It´s messy and takes time to learn.
Thank you so much for the introduction! I'm taking the Mastering DAX Video Course now and feel it's a huge asset. Especially after using Power BI for a while and having experience in other coding languages, I think it's absolutely super helpful to compare the conventions and caveats in perspective. Really appreciate it!
I'm pretty new to PBI but loving it thus far. What degree or classes would you recommend for those new to BI to build on their BI knowledge? All your videos have helped me so much and DAX is definitely an area I struggle in.
Hi Adam, nice nice video catching up on the DAX its really hard and take time to practice. Thank you for the sources. I would say SQLBI is my favourite platform i have learned lot from them and have gone through most sources from them. ,🤗
Thanks Adam for the video. Actually I'm considering to buy this book but I'm not sure whether to start from the first edition or the second. I'd would very thankful for your advice.

Here's the thing with DAX - is it worth becoming really good at it if it is unintuitive etc, or is Tableau's equivalent a better use of time? I've learned some dogshit languages in my time (VBA perhaps being the worst), and I wished I just focused all my time learning 1. Python and 2.SQL. I like PBI but I'm finding DAX quite unwieldy.
I used Apress for other stuff like DB, SQL, Python. I love their textbooks will pickup their Power BI book.... Edit: Jesus. I didn't watch the video and they also recommended this book... man crazy shit... what's the winning numbers to the lottery?
What is DAX even about, though? I don’t get it. Also, if you already know Python programming and pandas for ETL, what is the point of learning DAX? Honest questions, I actually am curious about that.
DAX is native to Power BI, Power Pivot and Analysis services. What dax allows you to do (at least in my case) is to be able to bring over tons of data in thin tables (many rows, few columns) and be able to analyze it extensively by adding filters, measuring YoY performance, MTD, QTD you name it, all of this without having to do the work outside PBI. Yes, you can do the exact same thing in Python, SQL, but DAX allows you to be more flexible once you bring over the data to your report.

Excellent sources!

Great tips!! My girlfriend on my birthday gave me the Definitive Guide to DAX and DAX Patterns.
Such a great birthday gift!!!

She is great! Has a lot of practical examples of power query/power bi stuff on her channel.

It feels so good to just hold "The Definitive Guide to DAX" in your hand.
Bought it and going through it.
It’s amazing
I was looking for this video, and then you just put it out! Amazing. Thank you Adam and Patrick for creating great educational Power BI content.
I think this is the real answer to my newbie question(s), thanks Adam!
Thank you, this video provided me a great starting point in beginning my journey into Dax. Much appreciated as always!
Thank you for this. In all my search for resources I haven't come across many of the things you list.
Hey Adam, I think you miss a big great youtube channel :), The Guy in a Cube is a great resource as well, thank for your passion
Best 'Dummies Guide' videos I have watched are the Elements of DAX series by Brian Grant.
Great one Adam, was looking for it, many thanks hero!!
Could you do one for power query too?

Start in Power Query and build the right data model, then you'll usually only need a few bits of basic DAX.....

Great video will pass along to peers but can you recommend text for M?
Amazing 😍 and thank you for sharing the resources🙌
Straight forward 👌
Thanks! This was very helpful!
Thanks for the information 🙂 you guys help allot
Very very helpful!!
Is there a way to practice DAX problems? Something like leetcode
It's called Dax.do He mentions it in the video. Or maybe I misunderstood the question?

Hi..please try this book to get started: "Supercharge Power BI: Power BI is Better When You Learn To Write DAX" by Matt Allington
Thanks, good information.
Where you reading my mind? Crazy
I used Apress for other stuff like DB, SQL, Python. I love their textbooks will pickup their Power BI book....

Nice
Thank you. And thank for subtítulos.
Dax. Its so you can do inline queries inside PowerBI because the company you're working for doesn't actually trust you to work with real SQL.
I thought he said GYNEACUBE in the intro. Thought he would start talking about yeast infections
