Calculated Tables & Columns

What is Calculated Tables & Columns?
Calculated tables and columns are new tables or columns created using DAX formulas rather than loaded directly from a data source. They are computed at data refresh time and stored in the model, unlike measures which calculate on the fly when a visual is rendered. They are useful for things like generating a date table or adding a static classification column, but they increase model size since their results are stored.
