Pro Dax with Power Bi: Business Intelligence with Powerpivot and SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular
Philip Seamark, Thomas MartensOften a task seems complex due to a lack of understanding, or a misunderstanding of core principles, and how certain components interact with each other. The authors of this book use solutions and examples to teach you how to solve complex problems. They explain the intricate workings of important concepts such as Filter Context and Context Transition. Explanation is given to how, through combining building blocks of DAX (such as measures, table filtering, and data lineage), Power BI can yield impressive analytical power. Throughout Pro Dax with Power BI these building blocks are used to create and compose solutions for advanced DAX problems so you can independently build solutions to your own complex problems, and gain valuable insight from your data.
