Why using CALCULATE(SUM()) ?
I see often measures written as:
Measure CY:=
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Col])
)
What’s the use of CALCULATE there?
Shouldn’t it just be written as Measure CY:=SUM('Table'[Col])
(I want to rewrite them as the latter form, but I wanted to be sure first...)

When you create a new measure, you do not need to warp your formula with CALCULATE as any measure default is wrapped within a CALCULATE function so you can just write:
CY:=SUM('Table'[Col])
