This course was well organized and the instructor was articulate but in some of the exercises I found inaccurate instructions and missing relevant excel files.

Great course except some mismatch in data file contents.

Content seems too condensed for the time period - lots and lots of info packed a short expected timescale. That being said, the content also lacks sufficient guidance, particularly when referring to particular calculations - you are merely tasked with making it, not scaffolded into using a particular calculation/function. Adding to this is the use of functions within calculations - not only are you learning a new function, you are learning how an alternative new function fits within the new function. It adds an unneccessary hurdle to practicing the content. Regarding the practice, I feel like this module could really benefit from more regular practice that involves a breakdown explanation of what a function is actually doing, and then build that back up into where it can slot itself into various calculations. Beyond this, there seems to be a "session" date associated with the course, rather than end dates - this has resulted in being locked out of completing the course within a suited timeframe.

Very valuable information to learn. Too bad there were too many complications with doing the exercises and activities. Some of the files that were supposed to be used for the exercises and activities generated errors. So some of the exercises couldn't be completed. Also, there were instances where the files were good, but missing columns that were needed to complete the exercises. Also, there were some errors in the syntax for the DAX calculations in one of the exercises. All of these issues made it difficult to learn. But the one saving grace was the guided project where you follow along with a recorded video step by step to complete the tasks.

This is more like a long series of promotional\commercial videos rather than practical tutorial. Instructed by different persons, the course lacks integrity and they go back and forth between different topics and repeat a lot of things multiple times. Some parts are tooo much basic and some parts are too advanced. A much shorter course in Udemy was much more helpful for me.

This course was very frustrating. Somebody needs to go back through it and revise all the missing or incorrect data. Update the materials to include correct or missing downloads. Add more information about the CALCULATE function. I found the information in Microsoft Learn area much more helpful than this course.

So many excessive words in videos. This course would be much better if tutors gave more examples. And it is pretty annoying when EVERY LESSON they describe what Adventure Works does, and that I am an analyst in that company

Quiz questions about aspects not covered in lessons, poor explanation of syntax and use cases, very few and limited scope examples of DAX, wrong downloadable files in exercises which made it impossible to follow the exercise instructions, impotent discussion forum (as of 08 Jan'24 0 posts and 0 replies by moderators). These are my observations from going through the first 2 weeks out of total 4 of the course. If you are reading this and considering enrolling, make sure you go through one-star and two-star ratings, the ones I read were accurate re problems in the course.

The modules in this course and other related courses are outdated, the exercise sample files are not correct and are missing data you need to complete the assignment. No one from Microsoft is monitoring the Discussion Forums. Learners have posted several questions in the forums, asking for help, reporting incorrect exercise files, reporting issues with course instructions, and no one is helping us. This is a waste of money and time.

Unfortunately, the course was a messy frustrating experience. MANY typos and errors in all of the materials. Incorrect answers on some quizzes and exams. Data files not matching what the instructions ask you do it. Quizzes and exams that don't align with the material that was taught and many questions that were simply designed to trick you instead of to test your knowledge.

This course has good information, but the exercises are terrible. The data sets that are provided do not match the information given in the example. I am currently working on DAX relationships exercise where you need an order date and a ship date. The excel given to download is not the one depicted in the exercise and has no ship date.

For a Microsoft learning process, this is a total disappointment. Most of the key exercises lack the product tools to do it. They provide you with power BI examples that don't have the correct data to do the exercise. I don't encourage or recommend nobody to do this module.

After reading about others having the same issues I had, over a year ago, it seems this course has been abandoned from fixing mistakes. There are a lot of errors, little guidance, and it covers a mountain of knowledge. Serious room for improvement.

Repetitive videos, incorrect files for most assessments and errors in questions of graded assignments. I wouldn't have completed this module if it weren't necessary for the overall certification.

Lot's of errors in the course. Wrong files. DAX part is very poorly explained. No exercises using DB connections, only excel. In real life most developers work with DBs.

Too many topics into one module and all important topics which need to be done properly are put together in one course making it look stupid

It was a good course worth your time unlike the previous two of them(they were too long) but be aware most of the exercise files are different than they mention, i don't understand why don't they fix it although a lot of people reports the issues, anyway the explanations (readings and videos) are fine.

Really good content. Appropriate level of abstraction as well as good run through of practical application in the Microsoft Power BI environment. Plenty of data modeling tools and concepts covered and a good foundation for further investigation into DAX, PowerQuery and other features.

I enjoyed every single valuable seciton of this course. I would hightly recommend every person who has an analytic role in an organization to take this course.
