Course Description

Learn from the original creator of this course – Mr. Alaster Leong.

Users who want to take their Power BI skills to the next level or grasp Power BI at its full potential should master Data Analysis Expressions (DAX).

This course is intended to build on the fundamentals taught in “Power BI Series 1 – Data Model, DAX, and Dashboard Visualization” Course. This course covers advanced and difficult to comprehend DAX concepts such as evaluation context, iterator functions, advanced Time Intelligence functions, etc.
