Memory intensive measure optimization

Hi community,

I have a table with over a billion of rows. In that table I want to run a measure on the column with the largest cardinality (col1) grouped by a column with lower cardinality (col2).

The measue is like:

Avg Unique Col1 IDs per Col2 IDs =
AVERAGEX ( VALUES ( Table[Col2 ID]), DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[Col1 ID]))

When my entire data range is selected this measure returns an error with the message:

Resources Exceeded

This visual has exceeded the available resources. Try filtering to decrease the amount of data displayed.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.
More details: consumed memory 13154 MB, memory limit 10240 MB

Can we optimize this measure for better performance?

Thanks.
