Measures not efficient

hi,

 

I use two measures (below).

Table 1_log_activiteit contains 600K rows.

Is there a way to make the measures more efficient?

Currently the desktop application stalls when I use them in a table.

 

correctie_door_adviseur = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('1_log_activiteit'), FILTER('1_log_activiteit', '1_log_activiteit'[activiteit]=15))+0

 

correctie_door_adviseur_doorlooptijd = CALCULATE(SUM('1_log_activiteit'[doorlooptijd]), FILTER('1_log_activiteit', '1_log_activiteit'[activiteit]=15))+0

Hi,

Does this work any better?

correctie_door_adviseur = COALESCE(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('1_log_activiteit'),'1_log_activiteit'[activiteit] = 15
),0)

It is not good practice to filter an entire table in your CALCULATE (best to do only one column at a time). It is also not good to add +0. See this article How to return 0 instead of BLANK in DAX - SQLBI, and try this measure instead.

correctie_door_adviseur =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( '1_log_activiteit' ),
    '1_log_activiteit'[activiteit] = 15
)

Hmm, this did not solve the issue.

Any thoughts?

 

acties_per_bestelling = COUNTROWS('1_log_activiteit')

 

correctie_door_adviseur = CALCULATE([acties_per_bestelling], FILTER('1_log_activiteit', '1_log_activiteit'[activiteit]=15))+0

Avoid writting CALCULATE (COUNTROWS()),

First create a measure with COUNTROWS() and stage that measure in another measure with CALCULATE. It will unnecessary Filter context! Try and let me know
