Difference Between Calculate & Filter DAX

Hi Experts,

 
Need your guidance to understand the behaviour of Filter & Calculate.
I have used below DAX measures to calcualte total Transactions based where quantity =6 and for Jan97.
However when i use the slicer and slect quantity less than 06 it gives blank value for PINK text box (Filter DAX used) but when i nothing changes in Blue Text Box (Calcualte use).
 
Can you please guide me how it is working.
Below images and DAX are for your inforamtion:
 
No Slicer SelectedNo Slicer SelectedNo Slicer SelectedSlicer Value SelectedSlicer Value SelectedSlicer Value Selected
Total Transaction Jan97 & Qty equals 6 using Filter = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(Transactions_Data_Fact,Transactions_Data_Fact[quantity]=6 &&
     Transactions_Data_Fact[year]=1997 &&
     Transactions_Data_Fact[Month] =1)))
 
Total Transaction Jan97 & Qty equals 6 using Calculate = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Transactions_Data_Fact),
Transactions_Data_Fact[quantity]=6,
Transactions_Data_Fact[year]=1997,
Transactions_Data_Fact[Month]=1)
