Book DescriptionAlthough DAX has been around for over a decade, many struggle to master the language primarily because DAX is often taught through the CALCULATE function, which is the most complex and unintuitive function in all of DAX. But what if DAX could be taught without CALCULATE? The result would be an incredibly intuitive and easy way to learn DAX.
DAX for Humans stands the traditional approach to learning DAX on its head, foregoing the traditional, legacy methods of learning DAX for a more modern approach that focuses on core DAX concepts and not any specific function. Even if you know nothing about DAX, from the very first chapter you will learn the essentials of the DAX language, as well as a single pattern to solve the majority of DAX problems. From that point forward, you’ll explore how to work with the basic building blocks of the DAX language and apply what you learn to real-world business scenarios across customers, human resources, projects, finance, operations, and more.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to apply your DAX skills to simple, complex, and advanced scenarios; understand how to optimize and debug your DAX code; and even know how to efficiently apply artificial intelligence to help you write and debug your DAX code.What you will learn

Who this book is forIf you use Power BI but struggle with DAX or if you know DAX but want to improve and expand your skills, then this book is for you. Even if you have never used Power BI or DAX before, you will find this book helpful as you progress from the basics to mastery of the DAX language using real-world scenarios as your guide.
