multiple filters
Hi,
Maybe this is a simple question but would like to know the best practice.
I have the following table and I want to filter with the following and get the sum.
- I have a slice for ID. Based on the slicer selection i want to have total.
- Filters are: Output is 3, Type is 99 and period can be either 3, 6 or 12.
- the table is:
| ID | Output | Type | Period | Value |
| A | 3 | 99 | 3 | 14 |
| A | 3 | 99 | 6 | 13 |
| A | 3 | 99 | 12 | 16 |
| A | x | c | 12 | 33 |
| A | 4 | 99 | # | 23 |
| A | 3 | f | # | 22 |
| A | 3 | v | 12 | 32 |
| B | 3 | 99 | 3 | 14 |
| B | 3 | 99 | 6 | 23 |
| B | 3 | 99 | 12 | 16 |
| B | x | c | 12 | 30 |
| B | 4 | 99 | # | 23 |
| B | 3 | f | # | 26 |
| B | 3 | v | 12 | 21 |
I think the second formula reads better and probably minismises system overheads.
Hi IF ,
The second option is better because you don't load the table into the Filter function each time - you do it once.
Is this measure the only one with such many conditions? If not and you will create more similar measures then in my opinion it is better to use slicers to filter the data.

If I helped, please accept the solution and give kudos! 😀Dear IF ,
use measure 2 it will work out faster .
Give kudos to motiavte .
if this helped accept as solution

SujitIF , the second one is better. We should avoid the use of "OR" as far as possible. OR can slow down on big data
