Thank you so much for all the Dax training. Optimization course taught me how to debug and improve my code, I don’t have anyone at the office to discuss. You greatly improved my understanding and productivity!!!

00:11 Why did you create a new edition?
02:07 Who should attend the optimizing DAX video course?
03:52 This is a very long training, there are tens of hours of lectures. Was it really necessary?
05:55 There are new technologies like Direct Query and Composed Models that are not included in the first edition. Why did you decided to include them now?
08:49 It seems that there are three main models: VertiPaq, Direct Query and Composed Models, right?
11:20 If I’m interested only in the Direct Query can I skip the VertiPaq part?
13:33 How did you organized the content?
17:12 I’ve seen you also included a book with this training. Is that correct?
18:30 So the students have the book and the lectures of the video course. How do they practice?
22:07 With the speed at which technology advances, does it make sense to invest such a large amount of time on something that can change every month?
25:04 Do you want to add something?

You guys are the best. So many teachers out there, but let's face it - you ROCK!

This guys are an authority on this topic. They go depth inside how works DAX and explain all the matter from basics to the most advanced concepts. Heard of them thanks to another big Master but from Excel, @ExcelIsfun Mike Garvin. Good job for all of you!

Thanks for updating ^^
Do you have plan to release an updated version of the 'Mastering DAX' video course?

[akhilannan]

If we just want to purchase the book, will that be a possibility?

Was it AI who was asking questions? :)
