Using Variables vs normal measures

Hello,

 

I have one question about Variables, probably im doing it wrong I guess, but i just want to make sure im using them properly.

 

I have two measures

 

VAR Score Q1 =
VAR Q1= SUM(Surveys_Data[EN_Pregunta1]) + SUM(Surveys_Data[ES_Pregunta1])

RETURN

CALCULATE(Q1, Surveys_Data[Status]="Completed")

 

Score Q1 = CALCULATE(SUM(Surveys_Data[EN_Pregunta1]) + SUM(Surveys_Data[ES_Pregunta1]), Surveys_Data[Status]="Completed")

 

 

Basically im calculating the same values, but with the one using variables, the CALCULATE filter doesnt apply at all

 

Can you please explain if im doing something wrong in here?

 

Thank you
