Hi @manojk_pbi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Also, thanks to @Greg_Deckler, for his inputs on this thread.

I completely understand how overwhelming it can feel when you are looking for the right references to improve your DAX programming skills, especially when optimization is a key focus.

Microsoft provides some excellent official documentation and learning paths that can really help you build a strong foundation and then move towards advanced, optimized programming.

The complete Microsoft DAX reference, covering functions, syntax, and examples: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/

Also, please refer this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/quickstart-learn-dax-basics-in-30-minutes-51744643-c2a5-4...

Hope this helps. If you have any doubts regarding this, please feel free to ask here. We will be happy to help.
