Help With "A Circular Dependency Was Detected" Error

I have a calculated column with this formula and it works fine:

Uninsured Marketing Designator = IF(LEFT(mv_perfex[clientgroup], 2) = "UI", "True", "False")
 
I have another calculated column with this formula and it doesn't work:
Uninsured Marketing Quantity = IF ([Uninsured Marketing Designator]="True", mv_perfex[Marketing Quantity])
 
I am getting this error message:
<pi>A circular dependency was detected: mv_perfex[Uninsured Marketing Quantity], mv_perfex[Actual Premium With Time Designator], mv_perfex[Uninsured Marketing Quantity].</pi>
 
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
  • Hi, krichmond 

     

    You can try the following methods.

    Uninsured Marketing Designator = IF(LEFT(mv_perfex[clientgroup], 2) = "UI", 1, 0)
    Uninsured Marketing Quantity = IF ([Uninsured Marketing Designator]=1, mv_perfex[Marketing Quantity])

    Also try:

    Uninsured Marketing Designator = IF(LEFT(mv_perfex[clientgroup], 2) = "UI", TRUE(), FALSE())
    Uninsured Marketing Quantity = IF ([Uninsured Marketing Designator]=TRUE(), mv_perfex[Marketing Quantity])

    Is this the result you expect?
