thank you so much, when I create both columns on the power query it works fine. also, I have done another solution by making both columns reference the ID column not each other.
Hi Ezzeldin ,
I have created a simple sample, please refer to my pbix file.
LEVEL_1 = SWITCH(TRUE(),'Table'[ID]>=250000&&'Table'[ID]<=259999,"Accumulated Depreciation",
'Table'[ID]>=920000&&'Table'[ID]<=929999,"Bank Clearing Accounts",
'Table'[ID]>=100000&&'Table'[ID]<=109999,"Cash &Banks",
'Table'[ID]>=980000&&'Table'[ID]<=989999,"Other clearing Accounts",
BLANK())Column =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
'Table'[LEVEL_1] = "Accumulated Depreciation", 1,
'Table'[LEVEL_1] = "Bank Clearing Accounts", 2,
'Table'[LEVEL_1] = "Cash &Banks", 3,
'Table'[LEVEL_1] = "Other clearing Accounts", 4,
5
)
When you create a Calculated column in the Report View you will get this error because the column which is created based a Column Cannot Sort the Same column because is Dependent on that Column (with a Formula).

level_1 is created to be used in a P&L visual; so I want when I list level_1 column values in the visual to follow a specific sorting that I specified in the column "Sorting".
for doing so, on the level_1 column, I choose the "Sort by column" option and then choose the "Sorting" column to sort each value in the Level_1 column by the sorting specified in the "Sorting" Column.
after doing so the error of Circular Dependency occurs.
