Total difference in sumx and calculate function
Hello
I have written 2 measures:
qty 3 calculate = CALCULATE([total sales],FILTER('Sales table','Sales table'[QTY]=3))
THis gives total = 37404
sumx for qty equal to 3 = SUMX(FILTER('Sales table','Sales table'[QTY]=3),[total sales])
This gives total = 40236
But if i write the following fucntion the answer is right:
sumx for qty equal to 3 = SUMX(FILTER('Sales table','Sales table'[QTY]=3),[total sales])
Please help me to understand the logic, why sumx function gives different result when i write measure but when i write the formula it gives the correct answer.

Every measure has an implicit CALCULATE that you can’t see, so measures always trigger context transition from within a row context.
