Last position:
Business Intelligence Consultant (freelance) at NBIC – Nisanthan BI Consulting
Advising companies on building, migrating and optimising BI and reporting landscapes (Power BI, SQL, Python, ETL)
5 client engagements in real estate and finance since 05/2025: taking over and stabilising existing reporting, automating recurring standard and management reports, building cash-flow models
Proposal and feasibility assessments for BI and reporting projects
Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development
Custom ERP system
Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.
Approach: Captured the business processes and requirements, modelled the data and developed iteratively together with the business team.
Implementation: Built a tailored, web-based ERP system with a central database, role-based modules and automated reporting – delivered using AI-assisted development in Claude Code.
Timesheet app
Starting point: Time tracking based on an overgrown, macro-heavy Excel template – maintenance-intensive, single-user and error-prone.
Implementation: Migrated all functionality and VBA macros into a standalone web app with central data storage, multi-user support and automated reporting.
Cash-flow modelling
Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.
Implementation: Built and extended the CF model to include project-development cash flows.
Optimisation: Reviewed and optimised existing CF models and expanded the KPI outputs for reporting and steering.

About the technology
What DAX does
DAX, short for Data Analysis Expressions, is the formula language used in Power BI, Power Pivot and Analysis Services tabular models. It calculates measures, calculated columns and tables from structured business data. DAX is designed for filter-aware analysis, so results can change correctly by date, product, customer or reporting context.
Where it is used
Companies use DAX to create governed reporting and self-service analytics across finance, sales, operations and supply chain teams.
- Build revenue, margin and forecast measures
- Compare periods, targets and like-for-like results
- Create reusable KPIs for Power BI reports
- Model customer, product and transaction data
- Support executive dashboards and operational reporting
Ecosystem and tooling
DAX work usually sits inside the Microsoft analytics ecosystem. Strong specialists understand Power BI Desktop and Service, semantic models, Power Query and M, Excel Power Pivot, and tabular models in Analysis Services. They also work with SQL, data warehouses, refresh processes, row-level security and deployment workflows.
Tools such as DAX Studio, Tabular Editor and Bravo for Power BI help inspect queries, format expressions, manage metadata and improve model performance. The right toolset depends on the model architecture and governance needs.
When companies need help
Freelance expertise is valuable when a report has grown into a difficult-to-maintain model or when business logic must be translated into dependable measures. Specialists can review existing formulas, clarify filter context and establish conventions that internal teams can maintain.
- DAX measures return inconsistent results
- Reports load slowly or consume excessive resources
- A new warehouse needs a reliable semantic layer
- Teams need reusable patterns and documentation
What strong specialists deliver
Quality DAX work starts with a sound star schema and clear requirements. Strong professionals distinguish row context from filter context, use variables appropriately and understand relationships, inactive relationships and evaluation context. They test edge cases, validate totals and explain trade-offs in plain language.
They also consider performance rather than treating every calculation as an isolated formula. Good deliverables include readable measures, documented assumptions, focused test cases and a model that remains understandable after handover.
Working with Berlin teams
DAX projects in Berlin often connect business stakeholders, data teams and reporting owners across German and international operations. Remote collaboration works well when requirements, model access and review routines are documented; on-site workshops can help align definitions and reporting priorities.
Look for a specialist who can communicate with both decision-makers and data professionals. Experience with Power BI governance, Microsoft environments and multilingual stakeholder communication can be useful when the work spans local teams and global reporting structures.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about DAX, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
DAX is used to calculate measures, calculated columns and tables in Power BI, Power Pivot and Analysis Services tabular models. It supports KPIs, time comparisons, financial logic, segmentation and other calculations that respond to report filters.
DAX evaluates analytical expressions within a semantic model and responds to filter context, while SQL is primarily used to retrieve and transform data in a database. They often work together: SQL prepares reliable source data, and DAX defines interactive business calculations.
A strong DAX specialist should understand data modeling, Power BI, Power Query and M, SQL, and the Microsoft analytics stack. Knowledge of star schemas, row-level security, refresh design and tools such as DAX Studio or Tabular Editor is also valuable.
The required depth depends on the model, data quality and business logic. A simple reporting task may need focused formula expertise, while a large semantic model calls for a DAX professional who can handle architecture, performance tuning, governance and stakeholder review.
Yes, most DAX work can be completed remotely when the specialist has secure access to the model, clear requirements and an agreed review process. Berlin-based teams may still benefit from on-site workshops for metric definitions, model discovery or handover.
Review whether DAX measures are readable, correctly scoped and tested against edge cases and totals. Ask the specialist to explain filter context, model relationships, performance choices and how the team will maintain the work after delivery.
DAX is strongly associated with Power BI, but it is also used in Excel Power Pivot and Analysis Services tabular models. Its usefulness depends on the semantic model and reporting environment, not only on the front-end visualization tool.
Before engaging a DAX freelancer, clarify the source systems, model structure, security requirements, refresh process and definitions of key metrics. Berlin teams should also agree on remote or on-site collaboration, working language and how business owners will validate results.
