Hey @mr_rk,
Learning DAX Internally - Quick Guide
Start Here:
- Use DAX Studio - shows you exactly how your formulas execute
- Practice filter context vs row context with simple examples first
- Master CALCULATE before anything else
Best Resources:
- Marco Russo's DAX book - chapter 4 covers internals well
- SQLBI.com free articles are gold
- Power BI community forums for real problems
- Guy in a Cube - practical DAX examples with real scenarios
- Radacad.com by Reza Rad - good mix of theory and practice
- DAX Fridays challenges on LinkedIn
- Power BI Guy's free DAX course
Hands-On Tips:
- Build basic measures first (sums, averages)
- Use variables to debug complex formulas
- Test with actual business data, not sample datasets
Don't try learning everything at once. Pick one concept, practice it for a week, then move forward. I've seen too many people get overwhelmed trying to understand everything simultaneously.
Start with filter context - once that clicks, everything else becomes easier.
