Dax Question about resources

Hi, I have a question about writing DAX and using it in reports. When you write a dax measure, but not reference it in the report you're building, slow the report? Or do DAX measures take a hit...

    Hi Anonymous 
    DAX measures are calculated only if referenced. However, always clean your file and reports and keep only relevant data and measures. I've seen files with tens and sometimes hundreds of measures, cannot describe how ugly and confusing that is. You can create calculation groups to reduce the number of measures.
