Hello Ruth, a great video .. as you said, it´s very important people watching your videos about Vertipaq.. thanks a lot.

Thanks Ruth! For me DAX is the enhanced version of Access through Excel :-)

I am here because I do not know not only what is DAX, but also where DAX lives and how to find it (download it) . No only you; but also others suppose that "you know one or two things about well that is why I am looking relative videos. So first you must (if you want) explain what is the environment that DAX operates, and where to find it. i.e. in excel you write macros (with vba) in the vba editor that is an add in.

When I explain basic Dax, first explain what the table ( column functions ) are in excel. Then you can see a little Dax in excel. So it becomes familiar.

Ruth, busque en tu canal y no encontré por eso hago la duda, hay alguna manera de ocultar el detalle de las formulas dax y no permitir su edición, que solo se puedan mostrar el nombre de la formula o columna, pero no su detalle de dax .La idea no es usar macros por lo que pregunto.

It seems to me that the Dax is like excel database functions. am I correct? Then other then It's powerful to deals with big data, What's the main advantages of Dax compared to excel database functions? By the way thank you so so much I'm a big fan for your

Ruth, genial tb me paso el rollo con tema filosóficos de excel jajjaj, consulta podrías explicar la diferencia del motor de pensamiento entre dax y el lenguaje M en power query y otra cosa trabajas en forma independiente como consultora o trabajas para una empresa fija y lo ultimo vives en eeuu o europa.

Muy bueno, en resumen sería un Excel con hormonas...
