DAX measure - Distinct count referencing second table

I have two tables in my model: Sales table and Products table.

 

Sales table contains columns: Year; Customer_name; Product_Name; Sales_Amount.
Product table contains columns: Product_Name; Brand_Name

 

I need to create two measures to show:

1. Count of distinct products purchased by a customer in a given year
2. Count of distinct Brands purchased by a customer in a given year.

 

I did task 1 with the following function:
ProductCount_2020 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Sales[Product_Name]); 'Calendar'[Year] = 2020)

 

I need help for the second task: how to get the count of distinct brands purchased by a customer on the basis of distinct products purchased? (i.e. how to reference the second table that relates products to theri brands?)

 

Thank you

Thank you.

1. The YT video did not help - it is just an elementary exposition of the Distinctcount function

2. The other post you shared did the job and helped me complete my task correctly.

 

Thaks a lot!
