I opened Power BI desktop for the first time a few weeks ago and this course and one of Ian's other courses have brought me up to speed on this powerful tool. Thanks!

Course was very good to go a bit more indepth in DAX formulas, data modelling and other data connections available. Course was very clear and gave good examples to work on

In all courses, on line or in person, the experience is highly dependent on the instructor's ability to convey complex concepts in simple understandable way. This instructor know how to teach!

Although tthe course really only touches upon the huge subject that is DAX it does it in a way that prises open the door to further study by giving yoiu enough to get you started without overloading you. I really rate the course but I do feel that it needs to be one of a series of courses rather than being considered a one stop mastering of DAX learning experience. Many thanks for another great course Ian.

I liked the content of the course. But I am expecting more practice questions with answer as it is masterclass (especially DAX calculation part). It requires more practice rather than theoretical knowledge. Hope you will add some in future.

This was a well-explained walkthrough of the Power BI data relationships and potential formulas/calculations that can be used to display your data. I was particularly interested in table relationships and hierarchies and this course helped me understand how these work.

I felt like the instructor did not explain some of the topics well. Also I would have liked more independent practice. Most of the practices were based on the same examples the instructor used during the lesson.

I got a basic course of Power BI earlier and have worked on a small project of building some KPIs with Power BI for a certain period of time, using daily data in my department. With this course, it consolidated my skills, especially about data modeling/relationships and measures. Thanks for the course!

I like it! It's a good introduction to advanced features to Power BI. Now I know these features exist and roughly how to use them. I guess if you need to go deeper into the advanced features, you have to take the related courses. I'm happy.

This course uncovered some gaps I had in my PowerBI knowledge. The concepts were presented clearly and briskly. 4.5 hours well-spent. Thank you!

Clear, comprehendible, engaging, good practice exercises. Explanation for previous year and month functions is a bit confusing because he uses the total sales - calculation for previous period> that confused me at least at first.

It's not what I expected and the title is misleading. "Master Class" to me indicates an advanced level course, however this is more entry to intermediate level. Also the "Case Studies" I was expecting to be some sort of best practice or real world examples, however it was just training on other topics. The content presentation is fine, but it's not what I was expecting.
