GRC-112 - Microsoft Power BI Data Modeling with DAX

This GRC-112: Microsoft Power BI Data Modeling with DAX workshop is a complete course about the DAX language. DAX is the native language of Power BI, Power Pivot for Excel, and SSAS Tabular models in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services.

This Power BI training for DAX is aimed at users of Power BI, Power Pivot for Excel, and at Analysis Services developers that want to learn and master the DAX language. This course covers the latest version of DAX 2019.

This workshop is a complete course about building the most optimal data models for your Power BI reports. It introduces the audience to the basic techniques of shaping data models in Power BI. It offers many real-world examples that will help you look at your reports in a different way – pretty much like experienced data modelers do.
