DAX For Humans: The No CALCULATE Guide that Makes DAX Easy

While DAX has been around for over a decade, people still complain that DAX is difficult to learn and master. But this is primarily because DAX is not taught correctly with the focus being on the CALCULATE function, the most complex, unintuitive, and difficult function in all of DAX. But what if DAX could be taught without the CALCULATE function? The result would be a much less complex, intuitive, and easier 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 most DAX problems. From that point forward, you will explore how to work with the basic building blocks of the DAX language and how to apply what you learn to real-world business scenarios across customers, human resources, projects, finance, operations, and more.

By the end of the book, you will 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 AI to help you write and debug your DAX code.
