DAX - Avoid Context transition in iterator

Hi,

I am trying to optimize a DAX measures. I have following measure (just added partial - only the virtual table section) where I could see "Context transition in iterator" problem and I was trying to avoid but not able to do.

 

VAR tab1 =
ADDCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE (
ALLSELECTED ( 'FT' ),
'FT'[C1_RGN],
'FT'[C2_RGN_RTLR],
'FT'[B1_VALUE],
'FT'[S1_VALUE],
'FT'[PCK],
'FT'[C_PACKS]
),
"y", ( [test])
)

 

and 

test = CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'FT'[Y_AMT] ),
ALLSELECTED (
'FT'[PCK_VALUE],
'FT'[S1_VALUE],
'FT'[S2_VALUE],
'FT'[B1_VALUE],
'FT'[S1_VALUE],
'FT'[LCL_PCK],
'FT'[C_PACKS]
)

 

Here "y" is referring another measure which has different context and scope. How to avoid Context transition in iterator in this case?

Try using variables to store the results before the context transition occurs.

VAR testValue =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'FT'[Y_AMT] ),
ALLSELECTED (
'FT'[PCK_VALUE],
'FT'[S1_VALUE],
'FT'[S2_VALUE],
'FT'[B1_VALUE],
'FT'[S1_VALUE],
'FT'[LCL_PCK],
'FT'[C_PACKS] ))

VAR tab1 =
ADDCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE (
ALLSELECTED ( 'FT' ),
'FT'[C1_RGN],
'FT'[C2_RGN_RTLR],
'FT'[B1_VALUE],
'FT'[S1_VALUE],
'FT'[PCK],
'FT'[C_PACKS]),
"y", testValue)
