Summary

It’s been an exciting journey and introduction to the world of DAX.

We started by understanding the difference between a calculated column and a measure. We explored the Measure dialog box and how the different components can help us create effective DAX formulas.

You are now familiar with some basic DAX functions including SUM, COUNTROWS, CALCULATE, SUMX, RELATED, and some time intelligence functions. You now know how to edit your measures and create simple summary reports using PivotTables.

This is a scratch on the surface of DAX. We will go into more specific calculations in subsequent chapters.
