Extreme DAX will first teach you the principles of business intelligence, good model design, and how DAX fits into it all. Then, you’ll launch into detailed examples of DAX in real-world business scenarios such as inventory calculations, forecasting, intercompany business, and data security.

At first, I thought, WTH? BUT, AS I continued to read. the book made less and less sense, then suddenly it all clicked together! I felt sorry for Dax as it appeared that he lived in an unstable home, and he started to hallucinated both night and day with seeing monsters. His school principal he thought was an Ogre!! With his missing dad he was frantic to find him and he went through some weird changes. I can't say that I want to continued Dax's story as I do not think that my heart can take it.

"Extreme DAX: Take your Power BI and Microsoft data analytics skills to the next level" by Michiel Rozema and Henk Vlootman is a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) in Power BI. The authors do an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into digestible sections, making the powerful features of DAX accessible even to those new to Power BI. The book is well-structured, guiding readers through a variety of practical business scenarios that can be tackled with Microsoft BI tools, including Power BI, SQL Server, and Excel.One of the key strengths of this book is its hands-on approach, with numerous examples and exercises that encourage active learning. Rozema and Vlootman's expertise shines through as they explore advanced solutions for real-world data challenges, without sacrificing clarity. Whether you are a business professional seeking to leverage data more effectively, or a data analyst looking to enhance your technical toolkit, "Extreme DAX" offers a comprehensive guide that promises to elevate your analytical capabilities to a new level.

Extreme DAX, reveals the full potential of the DAX language's features, and it's an exhilarating journey. I'm looking forward to the second edition, which will certainly bring additional tools, such as 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, that promise to extend the Scope of DAX even further. This is an absolute essential resource for BI Developers && BI Analysts, enabling the use of advanced DAX techniques to perform in-depth data analysis.

Books, rather than videos, have long been my preference for learning.Of the several DAX books I possess, Extreme DAX and DAX Patterns are the two I reference most.Extreme DAX is exceptionally well written. This is crucial when the Authors detail the topic which confounds most of us who first learned DAX: row and filter context. They expand on this topic to include query context.Before delving into 'context', they detail Power BI best practices including model design, calculated columns, and measures using the CALCULATE() function.Over the past several months since purchasing this book, I've adopted many of their best practices recommendations. Doing so has increased my level of confidence when taking on new Power BI work assignments especially those which do not align, design-wise, with my prior experience.

I'm the first person to suggest a google search when you need help with a concept or formula, but it's still nice to have a hardcopy book on your desk to reference for formulas or just read about a concept in general. There is so much to learn about DAX and this book breaks it down in small usable chunks. I highly recommend this for anyone learning DAX and/or Power BI or just want to have a good reference to refer to when you get stuck on something.
