3-day Virtual Seminar

Intermediate DAX for Excel Power Pivot

Overview

The "Intermediate DAX for Power Pivot" webinar delves into the sophisticated world of Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) within Microsoft Excel's Power Pivot. This session is designed for data analysts who are familiar with the basics of DAX and are looking to enhance their skills to perform more advanced data modeling and analysis. At the heart of this webinar is the CALCULATE() function, a powerful tool that enables users to modify filter contexts, allowing for more dynamic and insightful PivotTable reports. Participants will learn how to incorporate single and multiple criteria into CALCULATE() measures, unlocking new levels of analytical precision.

In addition to mastering the CALCULATE() function, attendees will explore the ALL() function, which plays a crucial role in clearing filter contexts to provide unfiltered data views. The webinar will also cover time intelligence functions, such as TOTALYTD() and SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(), which are essential for conducting trend analysis and making period-over-period comparisons.

Furthermore, the importance of adding a calendar table to the Data Model will be emphasized, as it facilitates accurate time-based calculations and enhances the overall analytical capabilities of Power Pivot. This comprehensive training will equip participants with the skills to craft advanced DAX measures, apply time intelligence functions effectively, and leverage calendar tables for more accurate and insightful data analysis.

Why you should Attend
