Calculate with filter causing performance issues

Currently I am trying to do some calculations within Power BI and all of the component parts are working but when i put them together the system tells me that I don't have sufficient RAM.

 

I have tracked it back to a single part of the calculation but i can't figure a way to do it more efficiently.

 

CashflowCount = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Calendar'),filter(All('Calendar'),'Calendar'[Date] >= MIN(Cashflow[Task.StartDate]) && 'Calendar'[Date] <= MAX(Cashflow[Projects.EndDate])))

This is the calculation which is causing the problem which by itself does resolve after some time.

 

What i am trying to do is split the interest for a particular caulcation across the period taht the interest will be paid rather than just a total interest in the period it started to be accrued.

 

Any ideas?  I am assuming taht i'm not the only person who has had this problem and i might be missing somehting simple that will solve my problem.

Will you have 1 row per day? In other words you are trying to calculate the number of days between a start date and end date?

Have you tried the DATEDIFF function? If this won't work, you could try calculating the min and max dates as there own measures and then using those in the calculate function.

Yp DateDiff was a much better way of doing it.
