What you'll learn
Conditional Aggregation in DAX
Employee Bucketing by Years of Service
Multi-Year Stop YTD Logic
Gamification & Scorecard Logic
Semi-Additive Calculations
Rollup & Subtotals in DAX
Statistical Calculations (Chi-Square) in Power BI

Requirements
Working knowledge of Power BI Desktop - you should be able to build basic reports, add visuals, and create simple DAX measures like SUM and COUNTROWS.
Familiarity with DAX fundamentals - understanding filter context, calculated columns vs measures, and basic functions such as CALCULATE and FILTER.
Power BI Desktop installed (free) - all demos use the desktop version. A Power BI Pro or Premium licence is needed only for the Power Automate alert section.
Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
This course teaches how DAX is actually used in real business dashboards.
In real projects, you don't just write SUM or AVERAGE. You build logic like
• Stopping YTD for future dates
• Creating employee tenure buckets
• Building gamification scorecards
• Handling semi-additive metrics
• Writing statistical and ranking calculations
This course is a hands-on, scenario-based DAX course where every concept is implemented in Power BI using downloadable PBIX files.
You will learn how to think like a Power BI developer and solve problems that commonly appear in interviews and real projects.
Each section focuses on a practical DAX pattern that you can reuse in your own reports.
By the end of this course, learners will be able to
• Write conditional aggregation measures using advanced DAX logic
• Create employee tenure buckets dynamically using DAX
• Build multi-year YTD measures that stop at the correct date
• Design gamification & scorecard logic for business dashboards
• Implement semi-additive calculations for snapshot metrics
• Use ROLLUP and subtotal logic in DAX queries
• Perform statistical calculations (Chi-Square) inside Power BI
• Understand and correctly use ISFILTERED & filter context techniques
• Use the MOD trick for smart grouping and pattern logic
• Apply HASONEVALUE and RANKX for dynamic ranking scenarios
• Understand how advanced DAX is used in real dashboards & interviews
Who this course is for
Power BI users who already know basic DAX
Data analysts preparing for interviews
Professionals working on real dashboards
Anyone who wants to move from basic → advanced DAX
