Circular dependency error in switch(true)
I need help on resolving circular dependency error on my formula:
Sales Level =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
'Sales'[Sales by Product]>=1000000,"Level1",
'Sales'[Sales by Product]<=999999 && 'Sales'[Sales by Product]>=500000,"Level2",
'Sales'[Sales by Product]<=499999 && 'Sales'[Sales by Product]>=100000,"Level3",
"Level4"
)
The formula for "Sales by Product" which was used in column above:
Sales by Product =
SUMX(
KEEPFILTERS(VALUES('Sales'[ProductID])),
CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Actual]))
)
Hoping for any assistance.
Hi summer18 ,
Is Sales by Product a calculated column? If so try this instead:
Sales by Product =
CALCULATE (SUM ( 'Sales'[Actual] ),
ALLEXCEPT( 'Sales'[ProductID] )
)
Have a read of

Which explains why you get circular dependency.
