Posted 4 days 12 hours ago by Edureka
Master DAX and Power BI to advance as an analyst
DAX is the analytical engine behind Microsoft Power BI, enabling you to create powerful calculations that transform data into actionable insights. On this three-week course, you’ll build the skills to write reliable DAX formulas and create professional, interactive reports that help organisations make informed business decisions.
You’ll begin by exploring DAX syntax, data types, and the difference between calculated columns and measures. As you develop your skills, you’ll apply aggregation, filter, logical, and text functions to solve real-world business challenges, from tracking revenue and profitability to measuring key performance indicators.
Develop advanced DAX and data analysis skills
Next, you’ll learn the advanced DAX techniques used by data analysts and Power BI developers. You’ll explore concepts such as filter context, row context, and the CALCULATE function, gaining the knowledge needed to build accurate, flexible business calculations.
You’ll also learn how to create time intelligence measures for year-on-year comparisons, use iterators to solve more complex analytical problems, and apply performance optimisation techniques to write efficient, production-ready DAX code.
Design interactive Power BI dashboards and reports
Great business intelligence is about more than accurate calculations. You’ll discover how to communicate insights through effective data visualisation by exploring the full Power BI visual library.
You’ll learn how to create engaging, interactive dashboards using bookmarks, tooltips, drill-through, field parameters, and conditional formatting. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build polished, story-driven Power BI reports that help stakeholders explore data and make confident decisions.
This course is designed for data analysts, BI developers, reporting specialists, Excel power users, and business professionals with a working foundation in Power BI.
Prior experience with Power BI Desktop, Power Query, and basic data modelling is recommended. The course is ideal for learners aiming to strengthen their DAX and report design capabilities, progress toward intermediate-level Power BI proficiency, and prepare for roles such as Power BI Developer, BI Analyst, Analytics Consultant, Data Analyst, or Reporting Specialist.
These skills are valuable across finance, banking, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, consulting, and technology, where effective data analysis and clear insight communication are essential.
No paid software is required for course completion. Learners need Power BI Desktop, which is available free of cost, to practise DAX calculations, create visualisations, and build interactive reports. The required datasets and supporting resources will be provided during the course.
