This video teaches everything you need to know about Power Pivot, Data Modeling and building DAX Formulas, including all the gotchas that most Introductory videos do not teach you!!!

Comprehensive Microsoft Power Tools for Data Analysis Class, BI 348, taught by Mike Girvin, Excel MVP and Highline College Professor.

Topics:
(00:15) Introduction & Overview of Topics in Two Hour Video
1. (04:36) Standard PivotTable or Data Model PivotTable?

6. (29:15) DAX Calculated Column using the DAX Functions, RELATED and ROUND
7. (31:20) Row Context: How DAX Calculated Columns are Calculated: Row Context
8. (33:49) We do not want to use Calculated Column results in PivotTable using Implicit Measures
9. (34:05) DAX Measure to add results from Calculated Column, using DAX SUM Function.
10. (35:29) Number Formatting for DAX Measures
11. (36:35) Data Model PivotTable
