Calculation question regarding when measures are processed -specifically related to slicer selection
cbrow97 wrote:I'm curious to know if measures which are not used on a particular tab calculate when a slicer selection is made. When a slicer selection is made, every visual and measure on the tab appears to render the requested filter selection (as expected). What I want to know is if having dormant measures in a Power BI file is causing possible performance issues because they're recalculating upon a slicer selection even if they're not used in the report.
Only the measures referenced by visuals on the current page are calculated.
Unused measures are not calculated and don't have any impact on performance when you change slicer selections.

Great, thank you for confirming
