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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
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!
