Calculate not filtering expression defined as variable?

[campelliann]

Hi,

So I am having some difficulties figuring this, because I have not noticed before:

If I use the variable "soma Horas" inside calculate (situation 2), the expression returns the wrong result. It seems the table is not being filtered by project. 

I need to copy paste the entire variable for this to work (situation1).

These measures should return the same result, right?

Why is this?

Consumos Gerais_Team _1=

var soma_Horas = sum(Fact_ChangePoint[Regular hours])

var horas_visual_team = CALCULATE(sum(Fact_ChangePoint[Regular hours]),Fact_ChangePoint[Project]="PR00")

Return

horas_visual_team

Consumos Gerais_Team _2=

var soma_Horas = sum(Fact_ChangePoint[Regular hours])

var horas_visual_team = CALCULATE(soma_horas,Fact_ChangePoint[Project]="PR00")

Return

horas_visual_team

Hi @campelliann 

Variables are always evaluated outside the filters your RETURN expression applies. In your Dax code, the RERURN  expression is 

var horas_visual_team = CALCULATE(soma_horas,Fact_ChangePoint[Project]="PR00")
Return
horas_visual_team

so the variable var soma_Horas = sum(Fact_ChangePoint[Regular hours]) has been evaluated before.
