Nikolai Schuler
Are you thinking about pursuing a career as a Data Analyst or Data Scientist?
Do you ever think that your career could take a leap forward if you would have more knowledge and skills in the world of data?
Perhaps you are even feeling overwhelmed by the number of courses available or by the fact that your life is already too full to concentrate on one more course?
I am Nikolai Schuler, I am a data scientist and BI consultant, and I have been there too...
A few years ago I noticed that the world of data benefits from many new tools and technologies. However, I also realized that it is extremely difficult to get trained in the field: Practical courses with real quality content are rare and are often structured in such a way that they are incompatible with a working life full of other tasks and activities.
While going through hours of research and training, I came up with the idea of creating a course that would offer extremely valuable content but that would be at the same time easy to follow due to its structure.
My goal is to help as many people as possible to pursue their desired career in this new Digital Age by enabling them to upgrade their data analysis skills. I am proud to say that I am heading in the right direction as my courses have already found their audience in over 170 countries and received thousands of positive feedbacks.

The course content is really good, giving a synopsis of Advanced Dax. However, a pdf of the teachings provided would be beneficial add on for quick revision of the concepts. Thank you for the course Nikolai !
By Marieke Verhamme on 2/13/2026
I really liked all the exercises we were able to do. Why not five stars? Because in the end, with the last exercise, you get to see very fast some visualisations tools/tricks, that were never mentioned in the course, nor was the intent of the course in my opinion.
By Roberta Assi on 12/10/2025
Esperienza positiva. Il corso è ben spiegato e ricco di argomenti. Ci sono molte nozioni che possono essere usate nel lavoro quotidiano. Vengono spiegate molte funzioni che si possono fare in PowerBI. In conclusione, è un corso esaustivo e in poco tempo spiega le grandi potenzialità dello strumento.
By John Long on 8/21/2025
Some descriptions could use a bit more details for those of us who are not as familiar with Power BI and the syntax and logical flows. Nicolai is very knowledgeable on this topic but communicating that can be challenging for his audience. Regardless, I still learned an immense amount to add to a previous Power BI course I took and will lo0ok forward to taking more with him. Thank you Nicolai !

Nikolai is an excellent instructor for DAX and he thoroughly covers the majority of commonly used functions. I'm satisfied this course gives me a good background in how to code with DAX. Great course!

Thanks! Best Regards! Super Course! .... Many thanks! One notable improvement is in the DateTable whose "WeekNo" column is inaccurately initialized with WEEKDAY function which can/should be corrected. Thanks again!
By Mari Coonley on 3/14/2023
Very well organized, it would be nice if there were more opportunities for practice rather than just following along with the instructor. Quick little practice exercises at the end of a grouping of lessons.
By Nina Marijanovic on 1/31/2023
This was my second intro to DAX course, and while some content was a repeat from before, I liked that this course really broke down the component parts and explained how/when/why you could build compound functions. Granted, some examples of advanced functions required additional video watching, but that is a part of learning. If you have some basic knowledge of DAX and need a refresher, with a slight tease of more advanced capabilities for your next step in learning, then I believe this course is correct for you.
By Scott W Mooney on 9/16/2022
Yes. I've been exposed to many PowerBI / DAX topics, however not at a pace I could understand the nuances of what I was doing. It appears this course will provide the detailed foundation I was seeking. At half way through I'm finding clarity in PowerBI / DAX topics which I previously lacked. I appreciate the ability to take the lessons at my own pace to stop and replicate the class examples. The challenge exercises are also very instructive.
By Felipe Alessandro Chiriboga on 3/14/2022
The course is really good, Nikolai explains the topics in a super-easy way to understand how Power BI / DAX works, happy to make this course and for sure I will come back to check it at some point!
