What is CALCULATE Function?
CALCULATE is the function in DAX that modifies the filter context under which an expression is evaluated, by adding, removing, or replacing filters. It underlies most non-trivial DAX formulas, including time intelligence functions, which are internally built using CALCULATE with date-based filter arguments. Learning how CALCULATE's filter arguments interact with existing report filters is a key step in becoming proficient at DAX.
