The more you master DAX in Power BI, the better the insights and reports you'll get from data. The filter context is a need-to-know DAX concept. Use this course to get hands-on experience working with this aspect of Power BI.
Start by exploring the relationships between tables in Power BI. Move on to using the CALCULATE function. Then, see how a filter context can be defined so that it only points to a subset of the overall data and how you can continue to perform operations within this filter context.
Moving on, examine a breadth of options for ignoring the filter context for specific use cases, including how to bypass filters using various DAX functions.
When you're done, you'll be able to use DAX functions to perform operations on a subset of data. You'll also be further prepared for the DA-100: Analyzing Data with Microsoft Power BI certification exam.
