Overview

This 2-Day course is designed to lay solid foundations before diving deep into complex DAX functions. This is achieved by focusing on 2 key elements i.e. engagement, and practicality. Participants will be spending their time writing hands-on DAX functions, looking at the result, discussing what works, and especially what does not work and WHY? Additionally, all the modules and concepts are reinforced by real-life, scenario-based examples to solidify the learnings.

After this course, participants should be able to write DAX expressions to address their specific business needs, leverage available resources to tackle complex problems, debug and optimize using available tools and the right techniques.
