## Description

Buy Definitive Guide to DAX, The: Business intelligence with Microsoft Excel, SQL Server Analysis Services, and Power BI (Business Skills) 1 by Ferrari, Alberto (ISBN: 9780735698352) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Great book - huge depth, will need lots of time to absorb - This book has taught me a huge amount about DAX in a fortnight, but I need to read some chapters again intensively to pick it up fully. The book does warn of this. DAX is probably more like SQL than a OO language, and yet knowing SQL won't get you into the syntax, only the mindset. The stuff towards the back of the book on how DAX models are stored internally, and column based databases, is extremely valuable. Now I realise that I can round some of my numeric data to 3dp to get much faster results. This is totally non-obvious without this background information.
Review: Very comprehensive reference to DAX - Very comprehensive reference to DAX. Its cover on time intelligence is very practical and comprehensive. However, I wouldn't recommend this book to DAX beginners, for whom DAXercises by Matt Allington is a better option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book - huge depth, will need lots of time to absorb
*by W***H on 22 June 2016*

This book has taught me a huge amount about DAX in a fortnight, but I need to read some chapters again intensively to pick it up fully. The book does warn of this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very comprehensive reference to DAX
*by M***G on 12 May 2018*

Very comprehensive reference to DAX. Its cover on time intelligence is very practical and comprehensive. However, I wouldn't recommend this book to DAX beginners, for whom DAXercises by Matt Allington is a better option.
