Complete DAX Bootcamp for Power BI from Beginner to Advanced

Overview

Dive into the world of Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) in Power BI with my comprehensive course, designed to take you from fundamentals to advanced techniques. This course is ideal for those who have a basic understanding of data connecting and transformation fundamentals in Power Query, as well as data modeling basics (no worries even you don't have fundamental knowledge of data transformation and modeling, I have covered Data transformation and modeling fundamentals to get started DAX).
