Presentation Title: Understanding Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) Foundations - Francesco Bergamaschi

Description: DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is a simple language of Power BI calculations (but not easy at all). Its five foundations are essential to understand in order to avoid confusion when they inevitably interact in your measures, calculated columns, or calculated tables.

In this session, we’ll explain the five DAX foundations step by step: 🔹 Filter Context 🔹 Row Context 🔹 Context Transition 🔹 Iterations 🔹 Expanded Tables

Each foundation will be illustrated with clear examples, first individually and then in combination, showing how they work together. Examples increase in complexity gradually, giving you a structured path to fully understand how DAX behaves.

What you’ll gain 🔹 Deep understanding of the five DAX foundations 🔹 Ability to anticipate and troubleshoot interactions in your calculations 🔹 Practical skills to write accurate measures, calculated columns, and tables 🔹 Confidence to handle more complex DAX scenarios

This session is ideal for anyone working with Power BI who wants to better understand how DAX works. Whether you create measures, calculated columns, or calculated tables, understanding these five foundations will help you write accurate and efficient calculations.

Join us for a meetup where we will get to know the possibilities in POWER QUERY and dive into the depth of the following questions:

• When should you use the Power Query formulas and when in DAX?

• What is the difference between add a column in Power Query vs. add columns after loading the DATA?

• When is it better to use measures instead of adding a column?

• When to create another table through Power Query and when is it not necessary?

• What is the advantage of connecting tables through Power Query instead of connecting in the model?

• New AI features in Power Query

🚦 💃💃"DAX - Measures, Columns, and Tables in Power BI". Our guest speaker Rasheed Ogunniran, is a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), Microsoft Certified Data Analyst Associate. He is currently exploring Data Engineering and Office 365. He is very big with Microsoft Communities like 9JA Data Platform, Azure Nigeria and Dynamics 365 in the past.

During this meetup, you'll learn and understand: · The role of DAX in creating calculations, aggregations, and custom metrics. · How to create calculated columns in Power BI. · The concept of measures and their role in creating dynamic calculations. · How to apply DAX to common business scenarios like sales analysis, profitability, and customer retention.. By the end of this meetup, you will gain the skills to create more advanced and insightful Power BI reports by leveraging the full potential of DAX for calculations, measures, and columns. There will also be time for Q&A and networking, so you can connect with like-minded individuals and share your own experiences.

Develop powerful data models that bind data from disparate sources into a coherent whole. Then extend your data models using DAX–the query language that underpins Power BI–to create reusable measures to deliver finely-crafted custom calculations in your dashboards. This book starts off teaching you how to define and enhance the core structures of your data model to make it a true semantic layer that transforms complex data into familiar business terms. You’ll learn how to create calculated columns to solve basic analytical challenges. Then you’ll move up to mastering DAX measures to finely slice and dice your data. The book also shows how to handle temporal analysis in Power BI using a Date dimension. You will see how DAX Time Intelligence functions can simplify your analysis of data over time. Finally, the book shows how to extend DAX to filter and calculate datasets and develop DAX table functions and variables to handle complex queries. What You Will Learn Create clear and efficient data models that support in-depth analytics Define core attributes such as data types and standardized formatting consistently throughout a data model Define cross-filtering settings to enhance the data model Make use of DAX to create calculated columns and custom tables Extend your data model with custom calculations and reusable measures using DAX Perform time-based analysis using a Date dimension and Time Intelligence functions Who This Book Is For Everyone from the CEO to the Business Intelligence developer and from BI and Data architects and analysts to power users and IT managers can use this book to outshine the competition and create the data framework that they need and interactive dashboards using Power BI
