This is the 3rd PowerBI course I've taken and absolutely love the examples Dan is presenting. I'm learning far more than I had expected. Of note, his demo of using a calculated table to troubleshoot table functions within a measure opened up a whole new world for me.

This is my second course from Dan, and that was worth attending for sure. I enjoy learning from you Dan, all videos are properly communicated, and very well explained. The best part about learning from Dan is you will always get replies on time for all your questions. Thank you!!

Thanks to the creators of the course, I think when you are starting to work with Power BI information from this course can be interesting. But for me, unfortunately, I haven't heard anything new, what I expected from Masterclass course. That's why 4,5. However, if you are confident user of Power BI, but only started to work with it - this course will be helpful for you.
By Jeff Robinson on 2/15/2020
This course content was excellent and easy to follow. I am a fairly new user of PowerBI, so the clear explanations of modelling and DAX with specific use cases was helpful for me. I can already think of applications for some of the new (to me) methods presented. Thank you!

Daniel is an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable in Power BI . I have moved from Zero prior knowledge of Power BI to writing DAX formulas in such a short space of time. Keep up the good work Sir and looking forward to enrolling for all your Power BI masterclass lesson.

Thanks Daniel another great course. This course builds on the skills covered in the earlier courses and really adds some useful tools and formulas to be used within working projects. As usual Daniels lectures are in-depth and well paced and a great way to learn the subject matter applicable to real-world projects. I have used the lessons elarned in these courses to earn money freelacning already :)

The instructor does a great job of making the complexities of both Power BI and DAX easy to understand. He is thorough and comprehensive in his explanations. The course does an outstanding job of building on itself. Each piece builds on previous pieces and makes it easy to see how to build the reports.

This training completes the first and it helps necessarily. The WOW effect is real. It's good to analyze but still it is necessary to captivate the listeners. I am not in marketing but in the Service Desk and a beautiful and complete table is better than a long meeting. Thank you
By Gerald Boutot on 4/26/2018
This course is pretty excellent, but I could not give it 5 stars because I think there are two things missing from Daniels courses that I've taken so far and this is no exception. The first is planning: he should not be deciding on what to name things "on the fly". If Daniel took a little time to pre-plan then his courses would feel more polished. The second thing that's missing, at least for me, are tests and exercises. Every 4 or 5 videos, there should be a comprehensive exercise based test to get the student to work with what has been learned so far. But all in all, Daniel produces very excellent courses. He's extremely knowledgeable and I'm pretty sure his clients are very happy with the work he is doing for them. I've purchased all of his Power BI courses, and can't wait to learn more from him.

Very well constructed course. Explains the concepts and the applications of PowerBI very well. I had difficulty understanding the complex DAX formulas especially since I couldn't figure out when to apply or what business problem does it solve. However, it has given me a good start for me to explore more in depth. Dan, is a terrific instructor, very responsive to my queries and helped me in several circumstances when I got lost. Overall a very good course. Highly Recommended.
