LazyDAX v3
Yes! I changed my LazyDAX file! my motivation: Less is more!
But what is LazyDAX?
A simple data model in Power BI and a list of DAX measures.
LazyDAX doesn’t include long and detailed explanation or comments. For each measures and function you have a link to microsoft.com, sqlbi.com or other external website.
I would like to teach you DAX from A to Z, but it’s not the best way to do it. (At least because I’m not one of the 2 italians! I would love to have their accent!! But I’m not!!). At least for me, I learned by doing mistake and try again and again.
IMO, to learn DAX, we need to practice! And that’s what I provide you, a place where you can add / modify your DAX measures.
You can still follow links and read the Microsoft documentation! That’s the reason why I changed my presentations to keep the same Canvas as Microsoft functions lists.
Why?
Now, I use DAX everyday, but my journey was long and complex! How is it possible? Before my lovely job in BI, I was a “pure” developer. (C#, Java, PHP, SQL, VB, VBA, Perl, Pascal, C, Cobol, Fortran, Ruby, … I worked and learned a ton of different languages)
BUT DAX took me a lot of time to understand! I still learn new functions or logics. I hated and loved it a lot!
Now it’s the big love and I’m trying by many methods to explain it to different people. (It’s another level of complexity)
With this updated version of LazyDAX, I wanted to provide a simple and more clear file!
This is the Power BI file where you are the hero!! DAX is your unique weapon!!
I plan to add more functions and explanation in the coming months!
