SUMX(Filter) Very Slow

Hi, I have a big dataset with 1,8 million rows which is in general performing very good but one formula is very slow.

Maybe you have an idea to make it faster.

 

Volume AutoCreated =
SUMX(
FILTER(
PurchaseOrders,
PurchaseOrders[AutoCreationFlag] = "AutoCreated"
),
PurchaseOrders[ValuePurchasedUSD]
)

 

Thank you very much for your help 🙂

Hi @LillyLegenda ,

Filtering only the column and not the entire table.

 

Volume AutoCreated =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( PurchaseOrders[ValuePurchasedUSD] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( PurchaseOrders[AutoCreationFlag] ),
        PurchaseOrders[AutoCreationFlag] = "AutoCreated"
    )
)

Please confirm that PurchaseOrders[ValuePurchaseUSD] is a column in your table, and not a measure.  If a measure, please provide the expression for it.  If a column, that is a straight forward expression and I am surprised that it is slow.  Can you say more about your model (relationships with other tables, visuals on your report page, etc.)?
