DAX CALCULATE() Filter Cleanup in Excel Power Pivot

The abstract theory governing this domain is the scope isolation property within measure query languages like DAX, where a specific mechanism (the `CALCULATE` function) automatically resets the filter context after evaluating its sub-expression to prevent unintended state leakage into subsequent calculations. This mechanism ensures that transient override filters applied during evaluation are discarded upon completion of the current operation's logical execution path, thereby preserving data independence between sequential analytical steps within the same expression or formula chain.
