I run some analysis that's fairly heavy. And one part involves getting unique instances of a customer where distinct data field would help.

However Data Model seems to be really CPU time consuming.

Since I know there are never really more than about 50 unique instance per customer per daily record. I use countif and sumifs on small range of the sorted data and which bacically bring info back on pivot to that unique instance.

If I am using one data table does data model help in any other way aside from Distinct count. You loose habitability to drill down which is annoying as well.
