Performance

Hi,

 

i finished my report and now i am reducing the time using the performance analyzer, i can do the same think using 3 different ways, and i whant to know which is better.

 

1. Create the calculation as a columns directly in the query when i am importing the data.

2. measures.

3. calculate columns 

 

i create many conditionals formatting for background colors and to reduce the load time i what to use the better way.

so for example for the same conditional.


1. create a column on the database with the HEX code
2. measure1=if(column1=1;"#e6e6e6";"#ffffff")

3. calculatecolumn1=if(column1=1;"#e6e6e6";"#ffffff")

Hi @santiagomur 

my opinion and experience:

Create column database in the origin query from data source - the best option, but it will affect on refresh data process

calculate column is the second option

measure will not be effective, emasure useful for all-datasource scope
