“Sam identifies core DAX concepts and explains the fundamentals clearly and succinctly. The examples he presents demonstrate the theory well. I have much more appreciation and knowledge now to approach DAX from the perspective of a filter. Thanks, Sam, I learned so much in this course. I am looking forward to delving deeper into DAX with more of your courses, as part of my membership.” – Helen

“I had zero knowledge of Power BI. I just returned to work from my parental leave, and I was assigned to a Power BI project in my company. I took the online course from Enterprise DNA and watched some YouTube videos on DAX formulas, etc. Within 2.5 weeks, I built some dashboards and presented them to the management team. They were impressed and loved how agile and powerful Power BI is! Thanks, Enterprise DNA for the courses and the templates available in the membership portal. They are really useful!” – Lany Noviyani
