Countrows in a calculated column

Hello,  

 

Why when I create a calculated column with CountRows the count is the total rows in the table?

 

As an example:

 

Total Rows in the Date Table = CountRows('Date')
 
Thank You,
 
Michael

The dax command does exactly what it says and counts all the rows in the Date table.
