why is this not a valid table

I'm trying to use this variable in an IN statement in a calculate

 

var _months_selected = calculate(VALUES('Dim Calendar ActivityMonth'[MonthNo]), allselected('Dim Calendar ActivityMonth'))

 

but when I use it in this clause it says it isn't a valid table

 

month('Dim Calendar ActivityMonth'[Date]) in _months_selected
 
what's the correct syntax?

Hi @bsheffer 
If you want to create a table you should use CALCULATETABLE not CALCULATE.
