DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is a collection of functions, operators and constants that can be used in formulas or expressions to calculate and return one or more values. In simpler terms, DAX allows you to create new insights from the data already in your model.
In this advanced Microsoft Power BI training course, we will explore how to fully maximise Power BI’s functionality to produce stunning visuals, and how to use DAX for complex calculations, offering you greater flexibility than the standard toolset provides.
Power Query connects to hundreds of data sources and offers over 350 types of data transformations for each source. This enables you to work with data from virtually any source and in any shape. The course will also cover advanced data modelling and visualisation techniques, as well as how to leverage Power Query and M Language to unlock even more potential from your Power BI environment.
