Visual Calculations: Making DAX easier w/ Jeroen ter Heerdt

This is it. The day DAX became easier. After this, how you write DAX changes forever. Learn all about it in this session! The Power BI team has been working on exciting things related to DAX calculations, specifically targeted at making it easier to add typical business-type calculations (such as running totals or vs-first). Would you believe it if we told you that you don’t even have to type DAX anymore and still be able to get complex calculations done quickly? In this session, we will talk about this exciting new feature!
Join this session to learn more about this new feature which will make writing DAX statements so much easier and faster. Get ready to get your mind blown! See the future, today.

Hopefully this will work, although it adds to overall complexity. I would have done all this in a much more simple way:
1. make totals work on any complex visual automatically
2. make more typical quick measures and name them something more earthly

I am afraid you might be missing the point. Any quick measures would still resolve in very complicated DAX, which is not solving the core problem.
