This week we venture into the world of hairdressing - and the 2 programming languages at the core of Power BI.

In a nutshell, M is the language used for importing data into Power BI and DAX the language used to manipulate data inside the Power BI data model.

Reza Rad  deals with the differences in his blog post M or DAX? That is the question.

Chris Webb posts a huge amount of really good material on his blog at Cross Join.

DAX Patterns is one of the richest resources for writing DAX measures, by the authors of The Definitive Guide to DAX (also on Amazon US).

Once you are starting to get beyond the basics in either language, the external tools such as DAX Studio and Visual Studio Code offer much better development environments for developing your code.

The full documentation on DAX can be found here and the documentation for M is here.

Check out Luke McAdam's Instagram and Soundcloud for more of his music.

If you are only here for the haircare products, you can also order DAX Short and Neat online.

You can download Power BI Desktop from here.

If you already use Power BI, or are considering it, we strongly recommend you join your local Power BI user group here.
