Hello,
I could not find the answer on youtube, so I ask some help here.
I ve got a new dataset to manage which was made not by me. It is very slow and I can't export many visuals to powerpoint directly because it lacks on memory.
After investigation - the problem is RELATEDTABLE in DAX syntax - I was able to redo some mesures without relatedtable and it works just fine, but for some mesures I have different result, and old result with RELATEDTABLE is a right one.
So my question is there any general tip to get rid of RELATEDTABLE and make my dax more fluent.
Example of slow mesure:
Base-TotalEng =
CALCULATE(
[base-F2F]+
[base-Phone]+
[Base-S2S]+
[Base-event]+
[base-FUE]+
[Base-Remote]+
[base-NLADOBE]+
[base-Web]
,RELATEDTABLE('Target')
,RELATEDTABLE('Decision'))
Thank you

Try using CROSSFILTER - BOTH instead of RELATEDTABLE for both tables
