Hi,
I have the following measure:
Measure =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Value] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[ValidFromDate] < MAX ( 'Date'[Date] ) &&
'Table'[ValidToDate] > MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
)
)
The two tables (Table, Date) are not connected.
I use this to see "Active" contracts on a specific date. However when I place it in a visual to see it on a daily basis (last 12 months for example), it is way too slow (I have 12 million rows).
Is there a way to optimize this?
Much appreciated!
Perhaps there is a way to make it faster without using Calculate? @Greg_Deckler Any ideas?
Yeah, I have seen this pattern be slow occasionally.
Without CALCULATE can be written fairly similarly.
Measure =
VAR _MaxDate = MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
RETURN
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[ValidFromDate] < _MaxDate &&
'Table'[ValidToDate] > _MaxDate
)
)
It might help to make the max date a variable.
Measure =
VAR _MaxDate = MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Value] ),
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[ValidFromDate] < _MaxDate,
'Table'[ValidToDate] > _MaxDate
)
Thanks but that doesn't help.
