This is one of the best videos explaining DAX... DAX is one of the weirdest languages to learn for non-coders... My biggest mistake was to start learning DAX without knowing any other coding language. If someone has prior coding experience, DAX becomes so much easier. At times, we think that DAX is counterintuitive, but when you know another language, you understand what are the simplifications made in DAX. A simple concept like iterators seems so alien if you have no coding background, but when you have it, iterators become so very obvious... So I would suggest to everyone, to first learn another language, you learn one, you can quickly grasp another. And then start working with DAX. DAX can open a whole new world if you know how to, but it can be hairsplitting if you don't know how.

I dip I and out of DAX a lot for short periods and “relearn” a lot - that second explanation was just brilliant - I always struggle with this.
