You just keep on beeing such a wonderfull inspiration. I wish I had known how much payback I would get from knowing dax, what I should do in dax vs power query, AND that I had read a book earlier, like the one from Avi Sing and Rob Collie, where you get passion, clearnes and fun - like with Curbal :)
Thanks! The tip about A and B made me think. I always just google the answer and go forth. Which is not right I guess
Feliz día de San Valentin para ti también Ruth, y muchas gracias por todo lo que nos enseñas!! Eres la mejor!!
Muchas gracias y disfruta del finde!

Thanks for all your help. You are such an inspiration to everybody and you make it seem fun. I am determined to learn DAX . Somedays I believe I will get it. Today I am not there and it's driving me crazy. I get so frustrated but your video do help Thank you, Thank you, Thank you..
Thanks Joanne, I am thrilled to be helpful as I know how infuriating DAX can be. Keep at it and I promise you will learn it and it is worth it!!

Happy Valentine's!!

Your expression is everything for me, very insightful teaching. Thank you! But how do you identify what function to call in calculated column to give you a column context? like you mentioned SUMX and Calculate...
Personally, i've learned DAX from you and your videos and i succeeded :)
I will never beat the master, but your videos help me a lot and was very inspiring.
Keep it up and great Work :)
If you have seen my videos, then you know as much as I do. Everything I learn I share with you in the channel :)
Thank you 😊
When I first started understanding the difference between M and DAX would have been useful, couldn't work out why different formulae wouldn't work
I wish I had it too!!
/Ruth
Would love to know about row by row calculation....Give me some clues :)
Great Video thx You
🥳

Tip from a newbie... Very important I think... Go easy on the resources...there are a LOT of videos, blogs, forums, communities, courses on almost anything today and to try involve in all of it is not only counterproductive but it can actually suck out all the interest in the subject. Start small, 1-2 books or some video content (Curbal of course) or some online courses, but if you catch yourself going too wide... Stop :)
Curbal every Monday, wednesday and friday will keep the doctors away ;)
Enjoy your weekend!!
Great advice. Fully agree.
00:57 DAX is not Excel
01:54 DAX is not like Excel, understand how the engine works
02:51 DAX engine compresses data for fast calculations
03:48 Understanding DAX functions is crucial for calculations.
04:45 Understanding modeling, relationships, and DAX functions is crucial for effective DAX usage.
05:42 Understanding why calculations yield unexpected results is crucial for learning DAX.
06:39 Practice consistently to master DAX
07:30 Learning DAX is like a puzzle
Nice!
Thanks! For There are not the subtitule. Help me
Great comments. Does anyone know why we don't have any power bi desktop update monthly 2020?
They took a break in January and will be back now of February. Probably next week.

ahh you wrote 3# instead of #3 that's why i didn't find it! Gracias for this new video
I changed it now ;)
There is a playlist for all the DAX 101 videos!

One thing I found helpful is understand measures are not formulas like in Excel . Instead they are like keyboard macros... Meaning you can plug a measure in by using its name and it inherits the environment (context) where it is executing.
Hi,
Thank you for your movies ans I hope that your Valentines Day was great :)
The thing that I miss (or don't know about) in PowerBi is ...
How to debug.
What I mean is: when I expect "A" and I receive "B" I have to somehow figure out why it is this way.
But I can't "go and see the steps of the calculation".
Something like visualized formula calculation in Excel.
Right now I am struggling with a Rank that shows proper values for most of the cases but sometimes it fails.
It is not a simple rank - such as "numerate what I see".
It is rather "get me rank of one company of all companies grouped by country, region etc, (then add more filters for products and more... )"
Sometimes it shows proper rank within country, sometimes region.
In most cases all is good, but "most cases" is not good enough :)
I am trying to get down to the data (set of rows) on basis of which this particular value was calculated, and I don't know how :)
My plan is to watch your Vertipaq videos.
Maybe that's the way :)
Kind regards, I admire your great work.
Hi, I have been asked that question now multiple times so I will make a video :)
