Circular Dependency error

Hi,

 

Hi as I saw lot of post on circular dependency error but I am not able to figure out where circular dependency occurring from . I am attaching the calculated measures used.

selling price = MP(SP) and Transfer price = MP(TP).

 

MP (SP) = divide((Data_OMS[SP]),sum([BU list price]))

MP (TP) = divide((Data_OMS[TP]),sum([BU list price]))

 

TP = IF(HASONEVALUE('Report Currency'[Code]),SUMX(Data_OMS,'Data_OMS'[TP $]*[FX report]),SUMX(Data_OMS,Data_OMS[TP $]))

SP = IF(HASONEVALUE('Report Currency'[Code]),SUMX(Data_OMS,'Data_OMS'[SP $]*[FX report]),SUMX(Data_OMS,Data_OMS[SP $]))

 

I am creating two calculated column as MP (SP) range & MP (TP) range. How ever the formula is correct for MP(TP) range whereas for MP (SP) range im getting circular dependency error. If I create the same formula as a measure this looks fine and not showing any error.but I require this as column.

Can someone explain why is this happening pls and how to resolve.
