It’s written for data analysts using Power BI or Power Pivot, BI developers targeting Analysis Services Tabular, and in general, anyone who’s interested in DAX. You’ll learn DAX methodically, with self-paced lessons that build upon your previous knowledge and introduce more challenging concepts progressively.
