Look up multiple value using USERELATIONSHIP

Hi everyone,

 

I has an inactive relation between two table. I was able to calculate SUM for the first value successfully with USERELATIONSHIP. But when I calculate SUM for another value, the error of Circular dependency pop up prevent result to be returned.

 

Is USERELATIONSHIP can only utilize one time for a single calculation?

Hi @rdnguyen ,

 

USERELATIONSHIP can be calculated multiple times, and a circular dependent item error occurs when two or more items depend on each other to be calculated. Please check the expression for an implicit loop.

 

Hope it helps!
