DAX in Practice: Measures, Aggregation, and Context Translation

Enhance your Power BI skills by mastering DAX. This course covers creating advanced measures, applying aggregation functions, and managing context transitions, providing essential tools for data analysis in Power BI.

What you'll learn

DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is a powerful formula language in Power BI, used to create custom calculations and optimize data analysis. In this course, DAX in Practice: Measures, Aggregation, and Context Translation, you’ll gain the ability to build advanced DAX measures in Power BI.

First, you’ll explore how to use aggregation functions like SUM, COUNTROWS, and SUMX to create effective measures and perform calculations. Next, you’ll discover how to apply conditional logic with SWITCH, AND, OR, and other logical operators to create group bands and implement business rules. Finally, you’ll learn to manage filter and row contexts, using CALCULATE and iterator functions, as well as time intelligence functions like TOTALYTD and DATESINPERIOD for controlling evaluation contexts.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Power BI’s DAX needed to enhance your data analysis and tackle complex data scenarios efficiently.
