Explanation Context transition is one of the most powerful features of CALCULATE function. Whenever we use CALCULATE inside of a row context (iterative functions like SUMX, FILTER, or in a calculated column), CALCULATE transforms row context to filter context. What is the difference? In row context, values from the current

This segmentation somewhat differs from the generally accepted one, but we find it most suitable to explain different types of CALCULATE filter arguments. In case you find any part of our explanation not precise enough, feel free to comment. CALCULATE accepts 3 types of filter arguments. Those are model modifiers,

Syntax CALCULATE([expression],filter1,filter2,…)CALCULATE has only 1 required argument, and that is the expression (measure) to evaluate. All the other arguments are optional and are used to modify the filter context in which the required argument will be evaluated. Those modifications lead to a complex and extremely powerful computational power of DAX

Introduction CALCULATE/CALCULATETABLE are the most important functions in DAX, and the only ones that are capable of modifying the original filter context. CALCULATE has a few rules you need to follow, and they aren’t that hard to understand. The complexity comes when those rules interfere with each other or with
