## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a DAX book aimed at taking people from intermediate to expert
*by A***N on November 24, 2015*

Wow! I make a good part of my living off of Power Pivot and DAX and it's people like Alberto and Marco that have helped me all along the way - with their blog posts, conference sessions, and books. This book really stands out though. It's a very complete treatment of DAX which is the core language of all the "new" analytical tools that Microsoft has released over the past three years.DAX is a language that, at first glance, looks a lot like Excel and is pretty easy to learn for an advanced Excel user but the language quickly becomes more difficult if you haven't taken the time to understand its foundations - and that's what this book addresses ... in great detail. I've worked full-time with DAX for over three years now and I had lightbulbs going off constantly as I was reading this book. Incredible feeling, thank you.Said another way, there is knowledge in this book that will be hard to appreciate, that you'll miss entirely, unless you've had lots of experience with DAX. Beginners will get something from the book undoubtedly but it's really a book aimed at taking people from intermediate to expert. I agree with other reviewers who have suggested that DAX beginners start with Albert & Marco's other book "Microsoft Excel 2013 Building Data Models with PowerPivot"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learn from the DAX Masters!!!
*by J***Y on October 19, 2016*

The Definitive Guide to DAX is the BEST, most in-depth treatment of the DAX language and DAX engine (VertiPaq). It is best suited for someone who already is familiar with the DAX language. Every aspect of the DAX language is introduced in a logical progression, including Evaluation Contexts, Time Intelligence, and Relationships. The insight and low-level details that Marco and Alberto provide are unique to this book.Later chapters describe the Vertipaq engine, and how to optimize both the data model and DAX queries. There's also plenty of examples on using DAX Studio (this is something I couldn't find in any other books). If you are looking to REALLY learn DAX, then this book is for you. It takes time and effort to get through all of this material, but it is well worth it. Marco and Alberto are the DAX Masters! Their DAX Workshop video is based upon the content in this book, and is excellent. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very very very good
*by F***S on May 3, 2020*

This book is soon going to challenge the Lord of the Rings trilogy for number of total reads. Every time I read it, I learn something new. It not only taught me DAX, it also taught me pivot tables, which I managed not to learn for twenty years as an Excel power user, as well as basic database concepts I also only "kind of" understood. It could probably benefit from some kind of function index, as I often find myself going back to look up information on a function that, for pedagogical reasons, is not all aggregated in one spot. This book has made me a much more efficient and effective Excel user, and the techniques, once absorbed, rapidly pay off the initial time investment in time savings during analysis.
