Intersect formula to sum up values
- 4 years ago
This seems much simpler than the switch.
Account status growth = VAR CurrStatus = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Account status'[Account status] ) RETURN CALCULATE ( [Growth], FILTER ( 'Account_Status_Table_Segment', [Account status segment] = CurrStatus ) ) - 4 years ago
Variables will help with these measures too.
Account status platform = VAR Threshold = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Selection: account status threshold'[Threshold] ) VAR CurrPeriod = [Current Period] VAR PrevPeriod = [Previous Period] VAR GrowthPct = [Growth %] VAR CurrPeriodIsBlank = ( ISBLANK ( CurrPeriod ) || ROUND ( CurrPeriod, 0 ) = 0 ) VAR PrevPeriodIsBlank = ( ISBLANK ( PrevPeriod ) || ROUND ( PrevPeriod, 0 ) = 0 ) RETURN SWITCH ( TRUE (), CurrPeriodIsBlank && PrevPeriodIsBlank, "Inactive", CurrPeriodIsBlank && ROUND ( PrevPeriod, 0 ) > 0, "Lost", GrowthPct <= - Threshold, "Lost", PrevPeriodIsBlank && ROUND ( CurrPeriod, 0 ) > 0, "Gained", GrowthPct >= Threshold, "Gained", GrowthPct >= 0.05, "Gaining", PrevPeriod <> 0 && GrowthPct <= -0.05, "Losing", "Stable" )That should help some but what would really help is if you could keep this from computing for every single row of the table you're filtering, so the critical question is how is this measure related to the row context of 'Account_Status_Table_Platform'? Is there anything that changes from row to row that changes the output of this table? How are [Current Period] and [Previous Period] defined? Do these depend on 'Account_Status_Table_Platform' at all?
Thanks so much AlexisOlson!! I had no idea using variables could improve the performance so much (a visual that used to take 45 seconds to run now takes 8 seconds!). It solves my problem for sure!
One additional question if I may.. I would like to add two flexible dynamics in the formula (so that account status is based on what the user selects as Account level and Product level - ultimately different aggregation of accounts and group of products), do you see anything to optimaize more in the formula below? The fprmula performance with these two additional flexibilities is not bad, I just thought in case you have any ideas to improve it further 🙂
Thanks so much!!
