In this course you will learn about advanced DAX formulas, also known as Data Analysis Expressions, and how to connect data from different sources.
This course offers a step-by-step introduction to Power Pivot, showing why it’s a more powerful alternative to traditional pivot tables. You’ll learn how to handle large datasets, combine multiple sources without using VLOOKUP, and build models using reusable DAX formulas. We’ll begin with mapping data sources and building unified pivot tables.
Next, we’ll dive into essential DAX formulas like CALCULATE, SUMX, and SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR, then wrap up with best practices for naming, formatting, and modeling. This course is ideal for Excel users ready to upgrade their data analysis skills.
