DAX Calculate function with and without FILTER

Question

What is the difference in results of CALCULATE function if we use it with and without FILTER function. Suppose we have those two measures:

Measu         


        

Answer 1

The DAX syntax of the automatic FILTER function generated by DAX in place of a logical expression requires that you express a single column in the filter expression. Let's take this example -

Measure1 = CALCULATE([X], 'FactTable'[Color]="Red")

The syntax above is internally transformed in the following one, which you might write in an explicit way obtaining the same behavior from your DAX measure.

Measure1 = CALCULATE([X], FILTER(ALL('FactTable'[Color]), 'FactTable'[Color]="Red"))

So If you use last function in Measure2 value it will fetch the same result.
