Calculation gets bad performance when I add -1

Hi

 

I have this calculation

CALCULATE(
DIVIDE(SUM(FT_ManufacturingOrderHeader[Manufactured Quantity KG]), SUM(FT_ManufacturingOrderHeader[Kg Fillets]))) 
that performs fine (<1 sek), but when I add -1 to it 
CALCULATE(
DIVIDE(SUM(FT_ManufacturingOrderHeader[Manufactured Quantity KG]), SUM(FT_ManufacturingOrderHeader[Kg Fillets]))) - 1
then it takes > 40 sek no matter if I put -1 inside or outside the parentheses.
 
Can anybody help?

  • Hi LotteLaugesen 

    I'm assuming this is a measure.

    You do have do watch out when adding a constant to a measure, as it means a value is returned for any combination of dimensions that might be included in a visual, potentially impacting performance.

     

    Also, the outer CALCULATE is not needed if this is a measure.

     

    I would try this:

    VAR Ratio =
        DIVIDE (
            SUM ( FT_ManufacturingOrderHeader[Manufactured Quantity KG] ),
            SUM ( FT_ManufacturingOrderHeader[Kg Fillets] )
        )
    RETURN
        IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( Ratio ), Ratio - 1 )
    

    Alternatively, you could write this (should be equivalent):

    VAR ManQtyKG =
        SUM ( FT_ManufacturingOrderHeader[Manufactured Quantity KG] )
    VAR KGFillets =
        SUM ( FT_ManufacturingOrderHeader[Kg Fillets] )
    RETURN
        DIVIDE ( ManQtyKG - KGFillets, KGFillets )
    

     Regards,
