Thank you so much, Brian. This is a great explanation. You are the best teacher that I have listened to explaining DAX. I wish I had found your videos when I first started my DAX journey. You are amazing and I recommend that anyone that wants to better understand DAX, watch all your videos. I think you're the best!!!

Brian, You are amazing. I love DAX, but I want to say, if someone wants to understand it to the next level and also understand it in an easy way, then this is the right place. CSG Pro is an Amazing place to start learning DAX. The effort and patience you have to teach the underlying meaning of how it works are really amazing. I am one among those many people who have benefitted with these videos. You are a great teacher. Thanks, Brian.

Thank you CSG Pro and thank you Brian for the amazing videos. It's truly out of this world! Just a quick question, 24:00 is it true that before we even drop a measure into the Matrix, the whole model is already filtered based on the dimensions on the rows and columns? when the measure lands in the Matrix, unless it carries some instructions to modify the Context, the whole model isn't available to it, it cannot see the entire model because it's been already filtered to the Dimensions on the Matrix. It simply runs its code/logic on the available (filtered) data. I am kind of confused here.
