Best books for DAX and Power Bi?

‎03-25-2019 02:58 PM

Hi,

 

I was wondering if anyone had any great titles for learning Dax to help with power bi? My work is mostly financed focused and I need to create a ton of metrics.

If you can, hold off on the Definitive Guide to DAX. A 2nd Edition is due in May 2019 with more DAX functions and features that didn't exist in 2015. Even if you get it, you cannot go wrong. I am reading it now and plan to re-read it via the 2nd edition in a few months.
