Optimizing ABC Analysis in Power BI with Large Sales Data – Exceeding Resources Issue
- 1 year ago
This type of run time calculation on large data will always be slow. I'm not surprised to hear of your issues. Anything you can do to remove unnecessary resource theft will help. I suggest remove the product description from the fact table and put it in a product table, ideally with an integer as the key for the relationship. Also, check the precision of the sales value column. Reducing precision should help, eg round to the nearest integer. Consider summarising the data across dimensions that don't matter for this calculation, eg if your data is at day level of granularity but you only do these calculations at a month level, consider creating a summarised table of data at the month level only for this calculation.
Hi FelipMark ,
I usually works on large process data in direct query mode and used to get this error. There is no specific method of DAX optimization. It's depending upon the data model and how you do query. One thing I will suggest, don't use any row level operation like sumx, maxx, minx etc. these consumes maximum resource. Hope you are not using sumx here for cumulative calculation.
