Overview: Discover the true power of DAX in Microsoft Power BI and Fabric and build advanced DAX solutions for practical business scenarios. This book helps business analysts generate powerful and sophisticated analyses from their data using DAX and get the most out of the modern Microsoft analytics platform based on Power BI and Fabric. Extreme DAX will first teach you the principles of business intelligence, good model design, semantic model architectures, and how DAX fits into it all. Then, you’ll launch into detailed examples of DAX in real-world business scenarios such as inventory calculations, real estate planning, benchmarking, and data security. At each step, senior DAX experts will walk you through the subtleties involved in working with semantic models and common mistakes to look out for as you build advanced data aggregations. As the DAX syntax and many core concepts are similar to the use of formulas in Excel, the DAX language is relatively easy to learn for Excel users. This doesn’t mean, though, that DAX is easy to master it requires a different kind of thinking than either Excel functions or database queries with a language like SQL. Moreover, when working with DAX, you will find that the complexity of questions that you’ll want to answer with DAX calculations increases steadily. And with that, you will need to create ever more sophisticated DAX code. This book will give you many examples of advanced applications of DAX, which will hopefully help you solve your own DAX challenges. You’ll deepen your understanding of DAX functions, filters, and measures, and how and when they can be used to derive effective insights. You’ll also be provided with PBIX files for each chapter, so that you can follow along and explore in your own time. Extreme DAX is written for analysts with a working knowledge of DAX in Power BI or other Microsoft analytics tools. It will help you upgrade your knowledge and work with analytical models more effectively, so you’ll need practical experience with DAX before you can get started.
