SUMX
Dear all,
I have a question regarding SUMX in relation with memory issues.
I made a small table in which is displayed amount A, an amount B and C=MAX(A-B,0) for key users of a system.
These measures give the right results except the totalling row of C. Therefore I made a fourth measure SUM CORRECT = SUMX(VALUES(EMPLOYEEE[KEY]),C). This Employee table is a separate table in which all available values for the key are included. As can be seen, this measure works fine for the selection of users below; it gives the same results as C but now with the correct total.
The only thing is, if I run SUM CORRECT over all key users, it takes something like 5 minutes and then I got the notification that there is not enough memory to complete the operation. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks a lot for your help!

But your definition of C doesn't say anything about summing. It just says "take the diff of A and B and if it's greater than 0, use it". And that's exactly what it does in the totals too. Total of A is lower than the total of B, hence 0 is being used.
Exactly! That's why I created the 'SUM CORRECT' measure, which takes that into account (as you can see in the table), but then I have the problem of memory issues.
