How to Resolve Slow Execution of the Filter Step

Issue

The execution of the Filter step takes a very long time.

Cause

When the data frame is grouped, and there are a large number of groups, the execution of the Filter step can become slow.

Solution

  1. Move the Filter step before the Group step
  • Applying filtering before grouping reduces the amount of data to process, improving execution speed.
  1. Ungroup data before the Filter step
  • Temporarily ungrouping the data allows the Filter step to execute faster.
  • In Exploratory, add an “Ungroup” step right before the Filter step to resolve the issue.

By following these approaches, the execution time of the Filter step can be significantly improved.
