OPTIMIZE SUMX FORMULA

Hi guys,  I have the following formula :  

TOP SALES = VAR X = FILTER(VALUES(CUSTOMERS[CNAME]), SCORE TOTAL>=30) RETURN SUMX(X,[CUSTOMER AVERAGE SPEND])

 

Essentially I have calculated a score based on multiple factors ( SCORE TOTAL) and broken them down in desired groups.  

TOP : SCORE TOTAL >=30

STRONG: SCORE TOTAL >=20 <30

POOR : SCORE TOTAL <20

 

Is there any other methods out there apart from SUMX (which I am using) to ensure faster measure performance?  Currently, the formula I am using is taking a long time to run.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

From your formula one does not know how things are calculated and what the model looks like. Without this information nobody can give you any better version of your measure.
