    Hi everyone,

     

    sorry for the late reply, i was hesitating to post my code because of Colleagues Names in the calculated Columns. We fixed the issue by ourselves, by building again.

     

    Solution:

    Many of our Tables had many Steps (30+): So we grouped them. (I think that was the biggest factor. Now each function has only to be called once?)

    If you come upon this on your search i can only emphasize on grouping your steps in the Query editor and using the reference option if possible when "copying" a table. And be careful on deleting steps that later steps could rely on. Guy in a Cube also has some helpful content regarding performance issues.

     

    Thanks everyone for all your help,

     

    Best regards
