    SUMX is iterator, that's why it's so much slower

    how about the one below for your Dummy measure

    CountUnique = COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE(TBL,TBL[Account Name],TBL[SaleType]))

    Hello Stachu,

     

    I have two tables like TBL and CUST. I have created the CUST table using the DAX.

    CUST=
    ADDCOLUMNS(
    SUMMARIZE(FILTER(TBL,NOT(TBL[Account])=BLANK()),TBL[Account ],
    "Sale",CALCULATE(SUM(TBL[Sale Amount]),FILTER(TBL,TBL[Ind]="Yes"),FILTER(TBL,TBL[Ind2]="Yes" && NOT(TBL[Code]) IN {"4"} ))
    ),
    "Grp",
    IF ( [Premium] >=0 && [Premium]<100, "0-100",IF ( [Premium] >=100&& [Premium]<500, "100-500",IF ( [Premium] >=500 && [Premium]<1000, "500-1000M",IF ( [Premium] >=1000, "1000+" )))))
    Now, I have created a relationship between those two tables using "Account" column and created a Cust Grp column in TBL using Related(CUST[Grp]). I want build a customer count based on grouping. 
    Problem:
    Counts were fine when there were no filters applied but when I apply a filter on TBL tables Sale amount in CUST table is not filtering(I selected filtering as Both direction). As a result, counts in the group are not being calculated properly. 
    For example, if I filter country in TBL to the "USA" the premium in the CUST table is not changing.
     
    Please help me out!!!!
    Thanks in advance!!!!!

      Tables and calculated columns are only calculated once, once you refresh the table that holds them - they are never changing based on the slicer/visual filters

       

      if you want to have changing Grp then you need to use a measure instead of calculated column.

      If you need help with that I'd suggest creating a new thread with samples from both tables, and marking this one as solved - helps to avoid the clutter on the forum, and may help other user with similar SUMX problems :)
