Excellent course and great instructor. Helped me understand the more advanced concepts. The examples can be applied at work immediately which is key to showing management the value of these courses.

Outstanding class. DAX is not an easy language, but the instructor made it so easy. Row context, filter context, context transition are crystal clear now.
