Hi Paul,
distinct count of sales =
CALCULATE (
distinctcount('fact'[order_id],
FILTER ( 'Dim Channel', [Exclude Dim Channel] >= 1 ),
FILTER ( 'Dim Item', [Exclude Dim Item] >= 1 ),
FILTER ( 'Dim REF', [Exclude Dim REF] >= 1 )
)
This measure is taking ages to load.
Could you please help me with this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Can you try the following?.
distinct count of sales =
CALCULATE (
SUMX ( DISTINCT( 'fact'[order_id] ) , 1 ),
FILTER ( 'Dim Channel', [Exclude Dim Channel] >= 1 ),
FILTER ( 'Dim Item', [Exclude Dim Item] >= 1 ),
FILTER ( 'Dim REF', [Exclude Dim REF] >= 1 )
)

Then, instead of using measure use calculated columns by making flags (for conditions i.e. ">=1") , it might doesn't takes too much time to load calculation unlike measure.
