📊 WHAT IS POWER BI?
Power BI is a business analytics tool by Microsoft. It creates a working environment suited for normal users, meaning tasks such as data extraction, cleansing, analysis and storytelling; these are made easily-accessible to citizen-users, and extendable for technical users. At face value it provides visually-stunning, interactive dashboards, but it’s built on top of so much more.

This is very informative. But I still have some questions. One is why the measure created must use the SUMX function? Can we just use the results of the product (*)? The other question is: why should we use the calculated column instead of just adding a new column to the data table in the query (using M language). We can use that column as a slicer too.

I think you should have put this video somewhere in the beginning . It would have been easier to pay attention on what you are doing in the rest of the videos.
