DATA GOD QUALIFICATIONS

Over just a handful of years, Daniil has had a massive impact to the data and analytics community.  
• Author of the official Power BI exam reference books (70-778 is out and DA-100 is coming soon)
• Technical Editor of The Definitive Guide to DAX and DAX Patterns
• Microsoft MVP
• Speaker (Power BI User Groups, SQL Saturday, Power Platform World Tour…)
Daniil became the Data God of Combo Breakers by mixing and matching crazy Power BI and Data features to deliver amazing results.

Done is better than perfect.

Daniil majored in accounting while studying towards his bachelor’s degree. Immediately after graduating, he became an auditor at KPMG only to find out that accounting in classroom was a bit more exciting than in real life. He wasn’t good at the job, and he wasn’t promoted after his second year, which in a Big Four company means they want you out.
Daniil then pivoted and joined Wrigley as a management trainee, where he rotated between various departments. In his second year there, he was fired because he performed poorly.

Then he joined Heineken and became a sales analyst there. After just three weeks, his boss quit, and Daniil thought it was bad luck again. As it turned out, it was a blessing—he inherited a Power Pivot data model, which he then turned into an Analysis Services Tabular model. At the same time, he was introduced to Power BI, and this is how his story began!
