Description
This course builds upon the skills learned in the first
course in this series DAX Power Pivot –
10 Easy Steps for Beginners.
You have already gotten your hands dirty with Power Pivot and seen how awesome it is.
Now you are ready to take your skills to the next level by delving deeper and acquiring
a more thorough understanding of how “Disconnected”
or “Parameter” tables can be utilised
to gain additional insights in your data models.
The first part of the course addresses Microsoft’s change to
the DAX engine that now makes
editing queries a challenge if you
aren’t an expert in SQL. Therefore, you learn to use Get & Transform to import data and in doing so, reduce the size
of your data model file size considerably.
You will draw upon your beginner DAX skills to delve deeper into the real meaning behind “Initial Filter Context”, “Filter Context” and “Context Transition” with explanations,
diagrams, examples and practice exercises.
To leverage the capabilities of “Disconnected” tables, I introduce you to the concept of thresholds, cut-offs and banding.
This really does open the door to a wealth of possibilities and you’ll learn
some useful techniques to gain some powerful new insights along the way.
Throughout the course, you are building your skills and understanding
– taking you to the next level at each Step
– 1-10.
I’ll have a couple of surprises
for you along the way – not only to boost your brownie-points at work but for
your own piece of mind around administration of your data models!I've included a BONUS section featuring 7 Power Query exercises that tackle what to do with typical messy data table layouts that require manipulation even before you start! A GREAT start to getting to grips with the magic that is Power Query!Here's what others said about the course: “Gilly. Did it again with the Addition of
Dax PowerPivot-10 easy steps for intermediate course. This intermediate Course
adds more formulas and Dax functions and even disconnected slicers and cube
formulas to add your learning base and continues to build off the previous two
courses. Gilly is a brilliant teacher who clearly has an in-depth understanding
of how power pivot works. She can break it down and simplify Dax so you know
how functions works and understand how to use it in your day-to-day excel work.
If you follow along and do the exercises when you’re done with a lesson you
fully understand how to complete and use the Dax formulas in your data work. If
you want to understand and learn Dax, Gilly courses are what you want to start
with. I recommend Gilly courses, you will be pleased with your results
afterwards. Well done Gilly. Thanks”
