(Livestream Replay) Elements of DAX - With Brian Grant

Join us as Brian will be talking about his "Elements of DAX", which is both a YouTube video series as well as an underlying conceptual framework aimed at making learning DAX simpler by breaking all of its main functions down into just three simple categories. Allegedly, once you learn these you can put them together like Legos to solve common DAX problems. He likes to teach visually, so don't be surprised if some demos pop up in the conversation.

GUEST BIO 📄

Hailing from the East side of beautiful Portland OR, Brian is a Senior Business Analytics consultant with local data heroes CSG Pro. Having spent his early years deep in the study of acting and screenwriting, he finally graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Economics. His driving belief is that the biggest barrier most people face when learning technology isn't technology at all, but language. Taught the right way, most people can learn most things; helping people learn skills that are "too technical" for them is his greatest joy.
