Hi , i'm currently using lookupvalue on some calculated columns and i can't seem to understand as to why the circular dependency is happening. Screenshots:

Hi @PaulDBrown. The video was very clear and I was able to understand why it was happening. That calculated column and the lookupvalue had all the columns from the table BALANCETES depending on it, which means when calculating CVEE-FC it was including the CSEP column.
All i had to do was adding CALCULATE and ALLEXPECT to reduce the columns to what i wanted.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Hi @Greg_Deckler . Regras[CVEE- FC] is a column from the Table Regras which i import from excel.
