Why is my DAT Query or DAT Filter slow?
DAT Query performance depends on the complexity of the query and the volume of data being processed. Some tables perform advanced calculations, which can add processing time even when a query appears simple. The more tables, conditions, and filters included, the slower a query may run.

To improve DAT Query or DAT Filter speed:
- Use the “=” or “<>” DAT Operators instead of Contains, Not Contains, Starts With, or Ends With.
- Avoid relinking to the same table multiple times.
