Here's what others had to say about the course:
"So far it's been easy to follow. The instructor is doing a great job of explaining what she is doing. Looking forward to more advanced topics. UPDATE: I've completed the course. It's a great course and I'm glad I took this one, as well as DAX Power Pivot 10 Easy Steps for Beginners. I'll be referencing the material often, there's a lot on information that's new to me. I really want to dive more into custom calendars and DAX patterns. I've already been showing my managers at work how powerful DAX functions can be. Gilly Dow did a fantastic job with both of her courses I took on Udemy. She's very knowledgeable on Excel and Power Pivot topics and her enthusiasm and encouragement always shows in her lectures. She is very responsive to queries from her students; my questions were answered very quickly. I've taken other online courses where you never heard back if you were having problems; that's definitely not an issue here."
