CALCULATE with FILTER

DAX DAX Calculations
1

Hi all,

I have a measure which works however is taking around 20 seconds to load. I have identified the issue lies with the filtering within the CALCULATE expression.

Original Measure =

VAR _MinDays = 364 * [Diff Year ISO]

VAR result = CALCULATE( [Total Footfall Week], Count_measurement_feed[date_from] + Count_measurement_feed[Time] <= UTCNOW() + _MinDays)

RETURN

result

Note 1: _MinDays variable returns the value of -364
Note 2: If I remove the _MinDays variable, my measure is much faster however my result isn’t quite accurate.

I have tried to optimise the measure by using a FILTER within my CALCULATE like so:

New Measure =

VAR _MinDays = 364 * [Diff Year ISO]

VAR result = CALCULATE( [Total Footfall Week], FILTER(Count_measurement_feed, Count_measurement_feed[date_from] + Count_measurement_feed[Time] <= UTCNOW() + _MinDays))

RETURN

result

For some reason this measure is giving me a blank result. Does anyone have an idea why this may be and if I’m doing something wrong here?

Thanks!
Chloe

Will will prove if you add a calculate column for "Count_measurement_feed[date_from] + Count_measurement_feed[Time] "
Or use a SUMX in a VAR.

Hope will did help

Hi @Clolawra

I noticed you didn’t provide a PBIX file. Providing one will help users and experts find a solution to your inquiry faster and better.

A perfect initial question includes all of the following:

  • A clear explanation of the problem you are experiencing
  • A mockup of the results you want to achieve
  • Your current work-in-progress PBIX file
  • Your underlying data file (to allow us to go into Power Query if necessary to transform your data and/or data model – often DAX questions really end up being data modeling solutions)
