Hi

I am trying to use various filters to compute some properties from an xdmf file. It is read into paraview as a partial dataset. I am using the latest 5.11.1 on Windows.

When I employ the work around suggested in gitlab in this thread, it works fine ([Calculator Does Not Work With Partial Dataset](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/calculator-does-not-work-with-partial-dataset/1599))

PFA my xdmf files.
