Hi all,
I am trying to get a measure working to get information about the average cumulative duration of sorted data.
The following two tables are used:
Log:
Cases:
Expected result in a matrix:
This works fine with the following when DurationAtStart is the following measure until I work with a big dataset:
DurationAtStart =
VAR auxT_ =
ADDCOLUMNS (
Log,
"ValueSum_",
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Log[duration] ),
Log[event_number] <= EARLIER ( Log[event_number] ) - 1,
ALLEXCEPT ( Log, Log[id] )
)
)
RETURN
AVERAGEX ( auxT_, [ValueSum_] )Do you any tips on how I can change the measure so everything works faster? Right now on a bigger dataset it stops calculating because the memory limit will get reached. I don't want to pre calculate everything unless it really is the last option.
Thank you for your help!
