Query has exceeded the available resources.

I'm having this error at my table after using multiple SUMX in a dax. Is there any alternate solution besides simplifying the query, reducing data volume, and optimizing the data model? hoping to fix it in an alternate Dax solution

 

Cal_L2_amount_sumx =
VAR cal =
    SUMX(
        dim_cost_type,
        SUMX(
            FILTER(
                dim_cost_center,
                dim_cost_center[Level1] IN VALUES(dim_market[Market])
            ),
            SUMX(
                dim_brand,
                SUMX(
                    vc_dim_wrap,
                    SUMX(
                        dim_date,
                        [sum_amount]
                    )
                )
            )
        )
    )
RETURN
    cal

This measure is computationally expensive, primarily due to its heavy reliance on multiple nested SUMX functions and iterative calculations over potentially large tables.

@mann0321 Try using  SUMMARIZE to pre-aggregate the data at different levels before performing the final aggregation

 

Cal_L2_amount_sumx =
VAR summarizedTable =
SUMMARIZE(
dim_cost_center,
dim_cost_center[Level1],
dim_market[Market],
dim_cost_type[CostType],
dim_brand[Brand],
vc_dim_wrap[Wrap],
dim_date[Date],
"SumAmount", SUM([sum_amount])
)
VAR filteredTable =
FILTER(
summarizedTable,
dim_cost_center[Level1] IN VALUES(dim_market[Market])
)
RETURN
SUMX(filteredTable, [SumAmount])
