  Hej! När jag läser om Power BI nämns ofta DAX och M.
  
  Vad är det för något? Är det samma sak? Hur används de i Power BI?

  Hej,
  
  Något kortfattat är M och DAX de två språk som stöds av Power BI för att manipulera, filtrera och analysera data. Även om båda språken har liknande funktioner, fungerar de oberoende av varandra. M används för att preparera data i frågeredigeraren medan DAX används för att analysera data efter att data har laddats in i datavymodellen.
  
  M är språket som används i Power Query, och DAX används i Power Pivot. Power BI i sin tur bygger på två nyss nämnda. Här kan man få mer kunskap i ämnet.

I was given access to this platform by the school and I would really recommend it. Very very useful and educational lessons from which you learn an incredible amount. I will really use this in my future career.

I have now taken three courses on Learnasy, Excel Basic, Excel Economic Analysis and Power BI Basic, and I am very satisfied with the platform. The courses are very well structured, which has made learning both flexible and effective. Each part is built up in a clear way and explained step by step, which makes it easy to follow along, even for beginners.A great strength of Learnasy is how they manage to combine theory with practical exercises. You not only get to learn functions and tools, but you also get to directly apply the knowledge in realistic scenarios, which I think has been very rewarding. This means that you really gain an understanding of how you can use Excel and Power BI in real work tasks.The courses were also reasonably challenging and required me to really commit to absorbing all the material. This meant that I learned an incredible amount that really feels relevant to working life.Overall, I'm very impressed with Learnasy and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to develop their skills, especially within the Microsoft suite!

So difficult to pass the course if you didn't do the exclusion method in the exams. There are still several things I don't understand. Do not recommend.

I did my excel course here and it is extremely educational and easy to understand. Very good that it is divided into small videos for each part of the course where you can see and listen to how to do it.

Very rewarding course and pedagogically laid out. The training follows a common thread and I have learned a lot from the first lessons. I appreciate that the courses are divided into smaller parts, as it is easier to absorb the various elements, but also to be able to carry out the training in parallel with one's work. I am also grateful for the help I received via your support!

I have started a beginner's course in Excel and think it is very good.I have always wanted to learn more about Excel and this online course is very well made and easy to understand. The tasks that come after each video are useful and show that you actually have to understand what you have been shown :-)I have already had good use for some of what I have learned so far.Recommend this course to those who want to learn Excel in a simple way.

I have started an Excel course on Learnesy and can say that it is very educational and flexible! All videos and chapters are long enough to stay focused. Great for learning with tests after each section too. Can highly recommend courses at Learnesy!

I love the Learnesy Excel courses! They are really practice-oriented. The lessons are short interactive videos that catch your attention. I have considerably improved my Excel skills after the basic one. I would recommend it! Definitely!

Covers all the basics that enable a deeper understanding for more complicated skills. Effective way of learning and the knowledge is easy to apply when you need them for your own projects.

Overall a good course, with a very easy/basic start for the first half (5-6 modules) before getting into the 'good stuff'.I consider myself an above-average user of MS Excel and the Office Suite and the later modules did cover some topics in an easy-to-follow way.I did encounter several .xlsx-files along the way with assignments who had suffered from lacking translation and some details were clearly wrong in the file compared to the quiz.These were settings and not values, so the main content can still be approved quality-wise.

Online course: Excell Bas (basics)Great introduction to Excell and its tools!This is, I believe, one of the first and most basic courses that Learnesy offers. It introduces topics such as functions and formulas, navigation through the program, hotkeys, IF-formulas and much more. Each module in the course has a few video lessons of a couple of minutes long and ends with a quiz about the lesson. The quizes also includes applying the lesson learnt to a pre-set excel sheet, which made it easy to quickly learn the tool as I got to apply it directly. As the Excel program is built with multiple tools, the basics course was structured appropriately by going through the tools one by one with a subsequent quiz to test the knowledge.Previously I have used Excell throughout my studies, with some basic application such as creating functions, using pivot tables etc. to handle large data sets for assignments in various courses (mainly industrial economics, material handling and international distribution). This made the first lessons fairly easy as I am familiar with the program, but I also learnt something new in most of the first lessons. For instance, when learning about how to format sheets in excell, the lesson also explained how this can be used in large data sets, which put this into perspective how one tool is useful to solve more complex problems.As I had previous experience, especially the first 3 lessons were rather easy. When I did them, it felt a bit "unnecessary" as I already knew these bits. But they are easy and it goes fast to go through, and it probably depends on the experience of the learner. As the course progressed, I learnt more useful tools that I will continue to use from now on. Especially the lesson about IF-functions and search line/column was new to me, and something I believe I will use in my further studies and career.Something I would have like to have when working with the course, is some form of pdf showing an overview of the course before starting. Even though each lesson is labled, I believe it would be easier to get a grip of the entire course with a mindmap before starting the first lesson.To sum up the Excel Bas course:PROS+ Easy to use and understand the lessons+ Explains usages of different tools for further application+ Great content for a basics course with new tips and tricks as well as new knowledge of tools. Well suited for a self-taught learnerPOTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS- Have a "cheat sheet" with everything learnt from the course to have as a refresher for my self- Include a mindmap of the overview of the course prior to starting the first lesson- Some quizes were a bit too easy, but that may depend on the course and your level of expertise in Excel prior to enrolling in a courseAll in all, a great course to improve my abilities in excel!
