Calculated Table

A table created with a DAX expression evaluated at refresh, such as a date table from CALENDAR or CALENDARAUTO.

Definition

Calculated tables are used for date tables, role-playing copies of dimensions and summary tables. They are not available in Direct Lake or DirectQuery-only scenarios in the same way as Import.

Example

Date = CALENDAR(DATE(2020,1,1), DATE(2026,12,31))

Exam tip

CALENDARAUTO scans all date columns in the model to determine the range; CALENDAR uses explicit dates.
