Optimize the DAX measure to Improve the visual
- Anonymous2 years ago
Hi nivh ,
Thanks for collinsg replyBased on your description, you can try to optimize your dax in these areas:
First, avoid using TODAY() in variables. This function recalculates for each line, which can take up a lot of resources. Instead, if possible, compute dates outside of the metric.
Second, simplify the FILTER function. Filtering an entire table can be slow. Try filtering columns instead.
Finally, use the ALL function. This helps remove any existing filters on the columns you are using.Sample Dax
Sales Wk (-1) = VAR TodayDate = TODAY() VAR LastWeek = WEEKNUM(TodayDate, 1) - 1 VAR CurrentYear = YEAR(TodayDate) RETURN CALCULATE( [Sales], FILTER( ALL('Sales table'), WEEKNUM('Sales table'[Order Date], 1) = LastWeek && YEAR('Sales table'[Order Date]) = CurrentYear ), USERELATIONSHIP('Sales table'[_sid], 'Member'[Sales_Table_id]) )Best regards,

Good day nivh ,
A good place to start may be Power BI Antipatterns #9: Filtering whole tables, part I by Daniil Maslyuk. Your FILTER filters a whole table and may benefit from just filtering a column.
Hope this helps
