Writing DAX Queries

via Udemy

Overview

DAX is much more than a language for writing measures. It's also a powerful and full-featured query language

What you'll learn:
  • The difference between a DAX measure and a full DAX query
  • The tools available to write full DAX queries
  • How to construct a DAX query
  • The importance of data lineage and the TREATAS function
  • How to write common T-SQL queries as DAX queries
  • The most common and useful DAX table functions when writing DAX queries
  • How to export the results of your DAX queries to CSV and SQL Server
  • 15 questions and exercises to test your knowledge

As a DAXdeveloper you've probably written many measures, expressions and code for calculated columns. But, DAXis also a full featured and powerful query language for retrieving data in a table format, much like SQL. There is much more to being a professional DAXdeveloper than just writing measures.

The goal of this course is to teach the student what a complete DAX query is and how to read and write one. You'll learn how a query is constructed, the tools available to execute your queries, exporting data and all the various DAX table functions available to help you create and manipulate data. We'll then help make the transition from being a T-SQL developer to a DAX developer a bit easier by comparing common query scenarios.

Finally you'll have a change to test your knowledge with 15 questions and exercises.
