Dax covering up for bad data/modeling?

I have been using DAX for the past year or so, and is just fantastic! But when using DAX, I believe sometimes I am just covering for either bad data and/or bad modeling...

 

Is it ok to use DAX to "cover up" for bad modeling? Is there any guidelines when not to use DAX.

 

Truth is, fixing a model /data can take longer time, and I know with some DAX I can fix it within minutes, but it can defintely be a bad habit with long mid-term consequences...
