8 Ways To Improve DAX Query Performance in Power BI

PRIORITIZE MEASURES

Try to prioritize Measures over Calculated Columns.

----------------------

ANALYZE DAX FUNCTION

Choose DAX functions that put less load on machine from options of function that can be used.

----------------------

DATA MODELING MATTERS

Optimize your data model by using appropriate data types and considering normalization.

----------------------

ANALYZE PERFORMANCE

Use the Performance Analyzer to identify bottlenecks, analyze query plans, and make data-driven improvements

----------------------

OPTIMIZE DATA LOADING

Load only necessary data, consider incremental refresh, and optimize data storage for better performance

----------------------

EXPLORE DIRECTQUERY

Consider using DirectQuery for large datasets or real-time reporting keeping limitations in mind.

----------------------

OPTIMIZE DATA STRUCTURE 

Create indexes, use data compression, and avoid circular references to improve query performance

----------------------

CHOOSE ELT vs ETL

Clean, transform and enrich data before loading it into Power BI to improve performance and reduce processing time
