Course Description

Supercharge Power BI Online is a structured, hands-on training that will help you learn to write DAX and gain more powerful insights from your data. (Data Analysis eXpressions is the data modeling language of Power BI and Power Pivot for Excel.)

The course is created and delivered by Matt Allington, a world-renowned DAX expert, trainer, and author of the best-selling book, Supercharge Power BI. The DAX skills learnt in this course are completely transferrable to Excel Power Pivot, so you can apply the techniques in whichever platform you prefer.

Supercharge Power BI Online is a combination of:

  • Self-paced learning (reading and hands-on practice) of how to write DAX using either the Supercharge Power BI or Supercharge Excel books.
  • Video-based training content to cement the DAX concepts.

How it Works

The course is a self-paced and guided online training that helps you understand how DAX works and how to write DAX measures.

  • On registration, you can download the eBook bundle containing Supercharge Power BI and Supercharge Excel. (A free digital copy of both books is included in your registration.)
  • You can start reading from either Supercharge Power BI or Supercharge Excel right away. 
  • Practice the examples in the book and complete the given exercises. Check your answers with the answers provided at the end of the book. Watch the videos on Solving Practice Exercises. This gives you hands-on experience in writing DAX formulas.
  • You can view the online videos to cement your knowledge on DAX concepts. You can also practice along with the demos in the videos by using the downloadable example files and workbooks provided.

Total hours: 21 hours reading and practicing + 9 hours video = 30 hours

Excellent presentation. The step-by-step explanations and video examples really bring home what you are learning. Supercharge Power BI teaches you how to get the most out of DAX when working with Power BI. The online video instruction and examples sets you work through provide an excellent method to learning DAX. On top of that, Matt’s live sessions offer another way to help you gain the knowledge you need. Thank you, Matt, for an excellent course.

This course is just brilliant! It really does what’s stated in the title: it will supercharge YOU when using DAX! The samples and all the materials used are very relevant and helpful in learning the concepts and besides this, Matt’s style of explaining the concepts really helped me understand how to write effective DAX formulas. I really loved the way the course is structured, with self-study plus online videos during the week and live Q&A sessions. This course will really make you understand DAX and show how can you leverage it in finding insights and uncover hidden patterns in your data.

I have followed this course conducted by Matt Allignton previously and it really gave me a good start to work with Power BI. As I was coming from Tableau environment, it was vital to understand how Power BI works and its architecture, data modelling, etc. Then I started joining Query sessions of follow-up trainings. I love it. It really helped me to refresh my learnings, and allowed me to discuss my day to day Power BI issues and find some practical solutions. It also helped me to listen to others' Use Cases and learn from them.

The course materials were excellent – very relevant, and challenged me. Methods used by Matt to build-up the foundation, content and logic behind the DAX language was done very well. Examples were very relevant (lots of examples). I particularly liked the time intelligence comparatives of actuals vs budget – will be using that in hands-on applications. Problem-solving by Matt, illustrated by breaking down a problem into simpler steps, was a very handy technique to better understand how DAX works.

I have spent many frustrated months trying to learn DAX via YouTube but all I could learn was to copy / paste DAX formulas with no understanding. This course gave me a strong foundation in DAX and I'm now capable of building better reports that I understand and can modify to my needs! The flow and timing of the semester was perfect! My only advice to others is to stay disciplined, don't lag behind, do the exercises and you'll come out stronger! Can't wait to continue on this journey! Thank you Matt!!!

I found this course really interesting to start to learn DAX language in Excel / Power BI. Though I am not in the accounting business but in managing engineering projects, it enables me to follow purchase orders. Needed parts and to compare lists of material needed on purchase orders and material in stock. To make long story short, awesome course.

This course gives a great foundation on DAX for both Power BI and Power Pivot in Excel. What I really liked about the course is the combination of self-learning and Q&A sessions. Based on the questions asked, the Q&A sessions are a great learning platform in themselves, where Matt explains concepts in a clear way and shows how multiple solutions could be used to solve a question and what are pros and cons on the various options.

I found this course really interesting to start to learn DAX language in Power BI. The course is really progressive. And as not a English speaker, I found everything very clear, in the book, the videos and the live sessions. The support of Matt helps a lot in any struggle with the exercises in the book, on the understanding of the concept and on personal applications. It's also interesting to hear about the problem of the others learners.

This has been a great course for me! Coming with limited practical experience in Power BI and a cursory understanding of DAX, I have picked up a lot of gems from this course. The fact that Matt's book doesn't read like a dry textbook but a practical workbook only complements his excellent teaching style where he simplifies problems with ease. I have already started applying what I have learnt and am looking forward to signing up for more advanced courses on the subject.

I just finished the Supercharge Power BI course and found it to be excellent. I came into the class using Power BI regularly but not knowing much about DAX. With what I learned in this class, I will be able to take my Visuals and Dashboards to a whole new level. The class is very hands on, so you get to run through examples of the material and write DAX formulas (that work). Another tool that I've gained from this class is how to fix a formula that doesn't work by following best practices and understanding filter context.

THANK YOU! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone working with Power BI. The beginner coming from Excel will benefit from the book. Those are familiar with Power BI will learn how to break bad habits and learn with practical examples and structured, incremental lessons. The class will provide more than a few "Ah Ha" moments where you learn how to solve that problem you've been banging your head on for weeks. Now that I've completed the course, I will take advantage of the continuing support of the forum and the ongoing Q&A sessions.
