SUMX slowing performance

Hi All, 

I hope you can help me out.

 

I have a DAX measure calculating total receivables outstanding for any selected date. The issue is that, i'm encountering a performance issue when calculating multiple weeks/months.

 

I know the iterative nature of SUMX is slowing the performance, but I can't figure out how to get the same result by using another method. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks, 

Jacob

If you can attach a sample PBIX file, it will help a lot test and improve.

You can save your files in OneDrive, Google Drive, or any other cloud sharing platforms and share the link here.

@Jacobbl Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?


Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
