Query Reduction Filter

Hi All,

 

I currently have two tables as per the below dataset examples;

 

Task IDTonnage
11
22
34
42
52
64

1st table

 

Task IDHeight
12
21
32

2nd table

 

Please note the 1st table with 'Tonnage' included has more 'Task ID' fields than the second table. 

 

I am having a problem when I publish my report to the web where one visual is not working due to the 'Query being too large". I am wondering if it was possible to filter the 1st table to only show Task ID's that where included within the 2nd table as this will drastically reduce the amount of data Power BI is having to look at.

 

Many thanks,

 

E

@Anonymous , If table 2 to has unique task ids. Then join 1 and 2 on task and take task id from 2.

 

try measures like

calculate(sum(table1[Tonnage]),filter(Table1, Table1[Task ID] in Values(Table2[Task ID])))
calculate(sum(table1[Tonnage]),filter(Table1, Table1[Task ID] in allselected(Table2[Task ID])))
