How to improve performance using a lot of measures

[Anonymous]

I have issues with slow performance on a report and would like some guidance on how to improve.

I load data from BW via the import method (~1,5 million records).

I want to create a value driver tree. There is no good visualisation available so I use the visual 'card'for every part of the tree. The three consists of ~30 cards.

The measure is a simple sum with a filter:

CALCULATE(SUM(RP7[Amount]);

FILTER(BW;BW[Versions]

= SELECTEDVALUE(Month[Month])))/Denomination[Denominator]*-1 

I also use 3 visual filters & 2 report filters. It seems when I delete these filters, performance is better. But I really need these filters.

Any ideas? E.g. is it faster to have all filters within the measures so no visual filters and no report filters exist?
