I use calculate and had to figure it out largely by myself. Your explanation is by far the best that I have heard.

[@hulem98]

I love how you tried to break down a complicated structure into more user-friendly structures. Your explanation is appreciated.

[@ayandapeter1681]

I take off my hat and wash my hands...she's a legend, I did a number of her courses on Udemy, Power Query, Google Sheets, etc, and that was enough to get me to be the expert I am. Bravo!!!

[@susanknoll8721]

I am prepping for the DA 100 exam and both classes I have taken have not given very good explanations of the CALCULATE function. They expect you to understand it from what they give you. This is by far THE BEST explanation of it! Now I get it and will be searching out more of your videos on it! THANK YOU!!

[@ahmedtareq5342]

This great and easy to understand definition with practical example of how to use the function, fantastic video

[@adrianodossantosfernandes1236]

Leila I've started to learn Power BI and using some DAX expressions and I could not understand very well how this function really works, but your explanation on CALCULATE function is perfect! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@mosherif47]

I created a data analytics sheet and was using more columns to overcome this issue your explanation made it easier and gave me a lot of ideas Thank you

[@aTallCool1]

This was exactly what I needed for some data analysis at work - comparing several sites' time-based performance that was a percentage for each, along with the overall organization on the same pivot-chart. I left work stumped on how to do this and happened to see this video in my feed when I got home - BANG, epiphany!!! This video nailed what I was looking for, and I didn't need any other resources to get the analysis done. Perfect presentation and perfect timing for me. Thank you so much for all that you do! I wish I could give you a hug!

[@LeilaGharani]

That's great to hear!

[@chh8860]

For me ... a peek inside a world that someday I hope to fully understand ... and utilize. The presentation is perfect (no surprise).

[@LeilaGharani]

Many thanks for your support!

[@andrea_rico]

Estoy estudiando Power BI y no entendí qué hacía CALCULATE... viendo las tablas dinamicas ahora lo entiendo!! Eres la mejor, Leila!

[@Faadiz]

This is the "Best of the Best of the Best* video to learn Calculate Function.

[@amber5247]

Been working with DAX for some time. That is the best visual and explanation of the Calculate function. Thank you. You’re awesome!

[@LeilaGharani]

Awesome, thank you!

[@stickercode]

You know what, you did not solely teach the subject to us but had us grab it deeply by illustrating on the tables and the very logic lies behind it. Really appreciate it

[@romulusmilea2747]

Very, very nice ! An average difficult concept was explained with simple words, and visual aids. This is a very good foundation, anyone can start building more and more nested functions, within CALCULATE. You did it in the right way, starting from basics. There are many experts our there, knowing very well many DAX things, but just few of them are able to explain and make other people understand. You are one of them, dear Leila. I also love this short inserts with Stewie Griffin, really funny ! :-D.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you! Appreciate that.

[@Jay-oj5cd]

i read and saw a lot of stuff but this video is the only thing that made me understand the function

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rodolfovieira899]

Leila!!! You are an inspiration for everybody who wants to improve in life! Tnks! Hugs from Brazil!

[@Giovanni-vx8xl]

this is the only time I have finally understood the CALCULATE function. Thank you !!

[@LeilaGharani]

You're most welcome, Giovanni!

[@popcornchicken9302]

Thank you Leila! Explaining this in one word will really help me.

[@pedroemanuelrebelo2182]

The concepts are all there and constructively. The best video I've seen on this topic. Perfect Leila.👌👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you!

[@Muuip]

"so CALCULATE function creates an invisible Pivot Table to perform a caculation and returns the results in the Pivot Table where the CALCULATE function originated from." Thanks, this explanation worked for me!👍

[@lwinsoemar7405]

You make complex things easy to understand. Awesome !

[@destinydie]

I was finding it tough to understand this concept but thanks to your video, it was impressively explained

[@msachinkumar9886]

After watching 50 vdos this one is best n so easy

[@balendranrajanathan6808]

Thanks! So very well explained. The only problem in the practical world is that very few Managements are prepared to go for the Office 365 yet. Particularly Local Government Councils!!

[@saqibhussain9555]

Leila Gharani special thanks for the video and explaining the full fledged functioning of calculate function.

[@ChrisSmithFW]

This just may be the very best, most concise, and easy-to-understand explanation of the Calculation function that I think I've heard, and I've heard a ton! Great job! Thank you.

[@LeilaGharani]

Wow, thank you!

[@luckymike4590]

you have a unique way to make all your tutorials incomprehensible even the ones that are supposed to be "made easy".

[@Assif.Noilousse]

[@LeilaGharani]

[@sivasubramaniamappadurai1944]

It's an Art to explain complicated things in a simpler way. And you naturally have this ability to perceive how people could recive. Its really benefiting for most of us. Looking forward..

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you for the kind feedback.

[@optimistprime709]

I really appreciate how you presented it in a very simple manner that is easy to comprehend.

[@pixelmasque]

great explanation of the Filter Context (local pivot filters overriding the CALCULATE filter (which in Power BI with no filter tables, the slicers override the Calculate function). and wonderful demo of whats really happening under the hood of CALCULATES intrinsic filters. I did an excel/powerPivot/Dax course it was good, but I will sign up for yours as well having experienced how well you articulate and video. Will be fun to learn more with insightful perspectives.

[@LeilaGharani]

That's great to hear. See you on the inside!

[@cassioalexan]

[@davidk919]

Simple, Precise and clear. Keep it up

[@alterchannel2501]

Best teacher ever

[@marshallhosel1247]

Thank you for an easy to follow explanation.

[@vicvic553]

Thank you, now it is so much easier to understand and remember :)

[@bidwritersacademy]

Brilliant explanation. Thank you!

[@borisgrushin868]

Didn't understand why you'd use this function vs just pivot until I saw the filtered data next to unfiltered data and then yes, mind blown. Used to have to do several pivots and do lookups to get that. Thanks!

[@Afrikan221]

I'd say the same. I use to put many pivots and use getpivotdata :-)

[@riccardoczech6195]

Every time i watch your videos i am mind-blown! I love learning from you. I’m taking your power query course on Udemy and it’s sooooo good!!

[@ronakshah9561]

Excellent! Thank you so much for posting such knowledge. Brilliant explanation in whole of you-tube

[@mahadevshah3099]

Awesome, your teaching and example is at next level. I have enrolled for Power BI course from other tutor but eagerly waiting for your course. Thanks Again.

[@Tommie_Rogers]

Love your explanation. This will help me during the actual course when I get to that point.

[@umangdbz]

This is the fastest I have ever clicked on a video upload!

[@newmasuzzo]

Leila, Great explanation as usual ! It definitely makes sense after you provided the background and the examples.

[@LeilaGharani]

Happy to hear that!

[@prakashchaudhari8444]

Excellent way to explain complicated function.

[@nithiniloveu]

Wow what an approach to get into people's head on how Dax works. This is pretty much everything made it so easy to understand nd Dax is such a hard concept to grasp. Thank a lot for this . Now just matter of learning the functions

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you for the kind feedback!

Your explanation makes the filter context more understandable. 😀

[@LeilaGharani]

That's great to hear!

[@kuuuyajim]

@@LeilaGharani When I was watched this video over a year ago, my goal was to learn Power BI so I could land a job as a Data Analyst. Now, I am one and I have been busy creating dashboards. I'd like to thank you for all the knowledge you've shared. I also took some of your courses in Udemy. I keep coming back to your channel and your courses whenever I'm stuck figuring out some formulas, be it in Excel or Power BI. Thank you, Leila! ❤️
