DAX memory Issue-Need Help in optimization

Hi All,

 

i have a below DAX where i need to calculate Total returns for all  products for a selected client Since Inception(Start Date) to selected report date. i am using the below DAX. This works well but if i select recent dates it startes givinf memore exceed issue . Is there a way to optimize this DAX by further filters like (applying  extra filter for selected client ) or any other approach for calculated table to be used? please help . Thanks 

 

SinceInception =

VAR reportSelectedDate = MAX('Date Table'[LastDayOfMonth])

VAR yearCount=DATEDIFF([ProductStartDate],_selectedDate, DAY)/365

VAR _NewTotal =
CALCULATE(100 * (power( EXP ( ( SUM ( Client_Returns_Data[Returns] ) ) ),(1/yearCount))- 1),
CALCULATETABLE(
FILTER(VALUES('Date Table'[_Date]),

'Date Table'[_Date] >= [ProductStartDate] && 'Date Table'[_Date] <= _selectedDate
), ALL('Date Table')
))

@ak77 , Try like

 

SinceInception =

VAR reportSelectedDate = MAX('Date Table'[LastDayOfMonth])

VAR yearCount=DATEDIFF([ProductStartDate],_selectedDate, DAY)/365

VAR _NewTotal =
CALCULATE(100 * (power( EXP ( ( SUM ( Client_Returns_Data[Returns] ) ) ),(1/yearCount))- 1),
FILTER(ALL('Date Table'),

'Date Table'[_Date] >= [ProductStartDate] && 'Date Table'[_Date] <= _selectedDate
