Why Your Power BI Numbers Don't Match (Filter Context vs Row Context Explained)

Ever looked at a Power BI report and wondered why the same number shows differently depending on where it sits on the page: a card here, a table there? This video explains exactly why, using filter context and row context, the two concepts that explain almost every confusing number you'll ever see in Power BI. No DAX writing required for this one. Just open any report and you'll be able to follow along. In this video: → What row context actually means (and where it lives) → What filter context means and how slicers create it → Why a Matrix visual creates its own filter context automatically — no slicer needed → What happens when a slicer AND a Matrix combine (this trips up almost everyone) → How nesting a second field multiplies your filter context → The mental model that makes any confusing report make sense If you're studying for the PL-300 certification or just want to actually understand why your numbers behave the way they do - this one is for you.
