    Hi abloor ,

     

    To fix the error "Circular dependency detected" , you might not use CALCULATE or CALCULATETABLE function in the DAX bridge table.

     

    You can create calculated table like DAX below, then you can filter out the blank value and create relationships as you need.

     

    Table = UNION(DISTINCT('Table 1'[Name]), DISTINCT('Table 2'[Name]),DISTINCT('Table 3'[Name]))

    Best Regards,

    Amy

    Thanks Anonymous  that seems to be doing the trick however I can't link up the new table to Table 1 in the relationships view as it says there is a Circular dependency detected.  It's letting me link up Table 2 and 3 however.  I will have a play to see if I can get it working, but if you or anyone else has any other ideas that would be great.

     

    Thanks very much.
