Question 240
A visual contains a SUM measure inside a calculated column expression with row context, and conversion to filter context is required. What does CALCULATE do without extra filters?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Use CALCULATE to perform context transition from row context. CALCULATE can turn an existing row context into filter context for an expression.
Incorrect Answers
Removing that category filter exposes the relevant all-category total. It serves “measure needs a denominator unaffected by ProductCategory filtering”, not “context, and conversion to filter context is required”.
Apply REMOVEFILTERS to StoreID specifically within CALCULATE. The present requirement is “context, and conversion to filter context is required”; “only StoreID filters, keeping Date and Region selections” is a distinct situation.
KEEPFILTERS intersects filters on the same column rather than overwriting them. That matters for “condition while respecting an existing color slicer intersection” rather than the condition “context, and conversion to filter context is required”.
