Context filtering

I'm a begginner learning "context filtering".

[Filter Red] is a Calculated Column. Other 3 columns are mannually input. What's the logic behind it's showing answers in rows with colour Orange???

Thanks in advance.

You are basically doing this:

Ignore the row I'm in (use of calculate) then create a new context by filtering column colour by the value "Red". If this is done, take the total of the count column.

@Tom_Y Try this Dax:

Filter Red = If('Table'[Color] = "Red", CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Count]), 'Table'[Color] = "Red"), BLANK())
