  I will probably never need DAX but I have to say that I've book marked this incredible article for if I ever do.  What a great thing you've done here... makes a great "Rosetta Stone" and makes for very quick learning by someone who already knows SQL (which, I suspect, would be the better part of the majority).  Well done, good Sir, and thank you for taking the time to write and publish this article.

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
