When its winner takes all, it's the unexpected choice that provides the most impressive results. Who made the bold moves? Three Power BI DAX experts duke it out in a game of "Choose it or Lose it" with 8 cutthroat rounds of DAX Draft!

Your competitors:

• Rob Collie – the founder of P3 Adaptive. He wrote the book on DAX.
• Ed Hansberry – a 13-time Microsoft MVP with an extensive track record of creating innovative DAX solutions both in the community forums and for his clients. An avid chess player who is always two moves ahead.
• Leigh Ann Thibadoux - an incredibly skilled DAX P3 Adaptive expert who fuses her specialization in Finance and Accounting skills with her passion for process automation to rapidly create innovative DAX solutions.
• Bill Sundwall – P3 Adaptive Expert and today's guest referee, Bill has a passion for expanding the data community via education and mentoring.

The Challenge: DAX DRAFT

Our host Rob Collie invented the game, chose his competition, and made up the rules... but can he win? The competition will be tough. Most importantly, will Rob's OG DAX outmaneuver modern refined DAX?

The Rules are simple, eight rounds with a total of 24 functions taken off of the list with the remaining functions available to everyone. The remaining, undrafted functions at the end of the exercise are open for use by all. Once the draft has occurred, the question is: can you survive without the functions drafted by the competition? To keep our players honest, guest referee Bill Sundwall will if an actual workaround exists. Bill's ruling will be final.

Can Rob Collie's Street DAX scrape by? Will 13-time Microsoft MVP Ed Hansberry's mental compilation of functions and chess moves prevail? Or can scrappy P3 Adaptive newcomer Leigh Ann Thibadoux blindside both?
