There is a good tutorial called "Conceptual Estimating for Architects, Beginners Guide" at ObjectsOnline... I'd post a link but there is something going on with the GS forum server that isn't allowing me to post URLs. 
The ArchiCAD 7.0 documentation also had a "Calculation Guide" that did a fair job of explaining the Calculate menu - If you can get your hands on it.

I actually attended a training session with the author of the "Conceptual Estimating for Architects" using this tutorial. He does a very good job of explaining the Calculate menu... As the title says it is for "Beginners".
If you already have some experience with Calculation in AC it might not be worth it to you.
From my experience, the Calculate menu and core processes have not changed much from 7.0 to 8.*. The tutorial was written for 6.5 and doesn't really cover the "Graphical Templates" feature that was added in 7.0 - But, I never really needed to use the graphical templates.
