switch slicer poor performance

Hi all. 

 

Can anybody suggest why my solution works so poorly in terms of speed? 

 

1) I am building a scatter chart.

2) As a X and Y values I supply dynamic measures hidden in 2 slicers.

3) These measures are calculated as SWITCH(MIN([index]); 1; [measure1]; 2; [measure2].....) up to 38 values both . 

4) When I choose one slicer and second slicer, it takes minute or two to calculate and display scatter chart. 

 

Hope you got the idea, it is pretty popular way to slice table by columns, rather than rows. 

 

Thanks a lot,

Kareem

5ere used to be an issue where if statements and switch would evaluate every possible answer (eg 38 in total) even though you only need 1 of them. I heard this was fixed, but maybe not.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
