Helper IIIvar return with Slicers.
Right but you are still using VAR's and CALCULATE weird. Try this:
Quantity sold = CALCULATE( SUMX( sales, sales[quantity]), DATESYTD( date[date] ), FILTER( product, product[code] = "A") )The other option would be to take your 2 VAR's and turn them into their own measures, then what you are doing with the CALCULATE would make more sense.
Community ChampionA VAR within a DAX calculation is a bit of a misnomer. Once you calculate a VAR, it is static (hence why it is a bit of misnomer). You cannot use CALCULATE to recalculate a VAR. You generally use CALCULATE to calculate a measure or DAX expression with some new filter criteria. A VAR is really useful when you want to break down a complex calculation into manageable chunks or avoid doing the same calculation twice (like in an IF statement). However, the way you were using them is simply invalid.
Helper IIIThank you. It helps me a lot. I got one step close to DAX formula.
Have a good day.
