Optimizing DAX performance
Hi All,
I have a DAX measure that is taking too long for calculations. I was hoping if some one could help me optimize the code.
Sample code:
Measure =
Var var1 = some calculation
Var var 2 = some calculation
... 9 such variables
Var var10 = VALUES(user selection)
Var var11 = CALCULATE ( var1 * some value, columnvalue = "a")
Var var12 = CALCULATE ( var2 * some value, columnvalue = "b")
... 9 such variables
Notes:
some value calculations are based on the filters applied in each calculate statement.
Looking forward to some exciting solutions.
PS: This is my first question in the forum. Please excuse me in case I have missed out on some guidance.
Thanks
Udit

Really need to see all the code. You can probably ditch the VALUES. See these posts:
Hi Greg,
I have posted my code below. This is what I am trying to achieve. let me know if this helps.

Hi Anonymous
Sure you can use DAX Studio to optimize your DAX

LinkedInMariuszI already used dax studio and found out that this particular code is taking too long to execute. Everything else is fine. So thought of asking if there is a way I can restructure my code to make it more effectie.
- Yeah, there is a way, albeit quite involved.
The first thing to do is to... learn how to structure models correctly so that DAX is speedy.
The second thing to do is to learn how SWITCH/IF is calculated.
And the best thing to do is to take the book "The Definitive Guide to DAX" and read it in full. Especially the part that deals with optimization.
Best
