Circular Dependency when adding custom columns

Hi Joesh,

I do have some confidential info unfortunately, but I may be able to describe better and give examples.

 

I'm creating a scoring system that I want to put on a line graph, each point being a stage (4 stages/customer) so I cannot use measures as I can only do one measure on a line graph. However, measures do accurately calculate each stage. The main table that all the metrics link to (including this summary table) includes a customer identifier, so I'd be able to filter my report tailored to each customer.

 

Each stage adds the previous stage before. So, Stage one is calculated by this equation:

Stage 1 = CALCULATE(if ((SUM('questionnaire'[q1])) = 1,4,0))

+ Calculate(if ((SUM ('questionnaire'[q2])) = 1,3,0))
+ Calculate (if ((SUM ('questionnaire'[q3])) = 1,2,0))
+ Calculate (if ((SUM ('telemtry'[metric1])) > 4,3,0))
+ Calculate(if ((SUM ('telemetry'[metric2]))> 4,5,0))
+ Calculate (if ((SUM ('telemetry'[metric3])) > 50, 3,0))
+ Calculate (if ((SUM ('telemetry'[metric4])) > 5,2,0))
+ Calculate (IF ((SUM ('telemetry'[metric5])) > 100, 3,0))
 
Stage 2 =  = CALCULATE (('Line graph'[stage 1]) ## adding the stage1 to this score..
+ Calculate (if (Calculate (COUNTROWS('billingdata'),'billingdata'[specificSKU] = "specificproduct") > 1,2,0))
+ Calculate(if ((SUM ('telemetry'[metric6])) > 2,3,0))
+ Calculate (if ((SUM ('telemetry'[metric7])) > 4,-3,0))
+ Calculate (if ((SUM ('telemetry'[metric8])) > 3,5,0))
+ Calculate(if ((SUM ('questionnaire'[q4])) = 1,5,0))
+ Calculate (if ((SUM('questionnaire'[q5])) = 1, 5, 0))
+ Calculate (if ((SUM('questionnaire'[q6])) =1, 5, 0)))
 
When I try to add the second score in a calculated column, I get the circular dependency error
