Hi all,
I am looking to improve query performance. The report measures employee activity in a software, showing how many times someone "posted". I have a few lengthy measures in this report which are probably causing the visual on the right to be slow or even overflow. I have tried to clean it up a bit, but it is still pretty slow according to the Performance Analyzer. I would welcome any ideas here! I have attached the .pbix below.
Thanks!

Any ideas here? Would welcome any thoughts!
it seams more efficient to change the measure of Unproductive Time as this
Unproductive Time2 =
VAR _tbl =
SUMMARIZE ( 'Audit', Audit[code], Audit[master_key], Audit[trans_date] )
VAR UnproductiveMinutes =
SUMX (
_tbl,
VAR _c = Audit[trans_date]
VAR _p =
MAXX ( OFFSET ( -1, _tbl, ORDERBY ( Audit[trans_date] ) ), Audit[trans_date] )
VAR _min = ( _c - _p ) * 1440
RETURN
IF ( _min >= 10 && FORMAT ( _c, "yyyymmdd" ) = FORMAT ( _p, "yyyymmdd" ), _min )
)
VAR hourNo =
INT ( MOD ( UnproductiveMinutes, 1440 ) / 60 )
VAR minuteNO =
MOD ( MOD ( UnproductiveMinutes, 1440 ), 60 )
VAR secondNo =
INT ( ( UnproductiveMinutes - INT ( UnproductiveMinutes ) ) * 60 )
RETURN
IF (
NOT ISBLANK ( UnproductiveMinutes ),
FORMAT ( hourNo, "#0" ) & ":"
& FORMAT ( minuteNO, "#00" ) & ":"
& FORMAT ( secondNo, "#00" )
)
Thank you for this suggestion! It appears to slightly improve performance. Is there any way around a lengthy waiting process just due to the complexity of the measure?
