Hi,
I have two measures:
Measure One:
Total_mort_a =
Calculate(
Sum( 'comps'[comp_value]),
'comps'[mort_id] in {"A"})
Measure Two:
Total_mort_d =
Calculate(
Sum( 'comps'[comp_value]),
'comps'[mort_id] in {"D"})
I have then created a column (as I need to SUM this later) with the following logic:
Exclusion_for_mort_a =
If('comps'[comp_exclude_flag] ="Yes",'comps'[Total_mort_a],
If('comps'[app_exlude_flag] ="Yes",'comps'[Total_mort_a],
If('comps'[fa_exlude_flag] ="Yes",'comps'[Total_mort_a],0)))
All of the above so far, works perfectly.
I have then tried to replicate the same logic for Exclusion_for_mort_a but this time, for the Measure total_mort_d
Exclusion_for_mort_d=
If('comps'[comp_exclude_flag] ="Yes",'comps'[Total_mort_d],
If('comps'[app_exlude_flag] ="Yes",'comps'[Total_mort_d],
If('comps'[fa_exlude_flag] ="Yes",'comps'[Total_mort_d],0)))
But for this Measure, I get the error message:
Circular dependency comps[column], comps[Total_mort_a], comps[column]
I'm really confused as to why this is a problem as I have 2 separate measures for mort_a and mort_d.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction as to how I resolve this please?
The first thing to do is to rewrite the calculated column so that it doesn't use measures. I see people doing this all the time and it's not a good idea.
You may still experience a circular dependency after this but you will be able to track why it's happening
