We have an amazing article that  the guys dived into by Iteration Insights (Thanks to Steve Richardson) - article here: https://iterationinsights.com/article/the-trend-in-analytical-data-modeling/ The gap between data modeling for IT and for the business is shrinking.

It doesn't matter if you have the best design skillset in the world, or if you can develop DAX Measures people couldn't even dream about. It doesn't matter if you have incredible vision and understand people's pain points in 2 minutes. What does matter is if you can manage and successfully roll out all 3.  In the BI space, the ability to deliver high quality content, that users can understand, and getting consumers to be comfortable in the product is what matters.  This was one of our more fun ones, we hope you enjoy!

The guys share their deepest, darkest, maybe not best practices in Power BI's DAX language.
