Hey guys,
Here's the situation:
Relations are as followed:
In the 'Customer' table I used some DAX measures to calculate the total revenue for each year and put them in the designated columns. Example of such a DAX measure:
revenue2014 = CALCULATE(SUM(tbl_revenue2014[ordertotal]);tbl_CustomerBase[customerID])
After doing this for each year, I created a DAX measure to sum 2014, 2015 and 2016 into a 'revenueTotal'. This one is as follows:
revenueTotal = CALCULATE(SUM(tbl_Customer[revenue2014])+SUM(tbl_Customer[revenue2015])+SUM(tbl_Customer[revenue2016]);tbl_Customer[customerID])
Now, after this, I'd like to create a new column containing a % of share in revenue for each customer. So "( total revenue generated by customer / total revenue of all ) * 100%".
I tried this DAX measure:
%_Share = tbl_Customer[revenueTotal]/SUM(tbl_Customer[revenueTotal])
But this gives me the error (translated from Dutch in English):
" There is a circular dependency detected: tbl_Customer[revenueTotal], tbl_Customer[%_Share], tbl_Customer[revenueTotal] "
I can't seem to find what this error exactly means and how I can solve it or create a workaround. Anyone has any thoughts?
Thanks,
Niels
I am new to this and have just gotten a circular dependency error message:
A circular dependency was detected: 'TPID_DATA'[L1_Proactv_BaseRev],'TPID_DATA'[Calculated Column 1],'TPID_DATA'[Calculated Column 1],'TPID_DATA'[L1_Proactv_BaseRev],'TPID_DATA'[L1_Proactv_BaseRev].
The formula I wrote:
=CALCULATE(sum(TPID_DATA[L1_ProactiveBase_Rev]))
I am not sure why I am getting this error. Any sugguestions? Thank you!
Sorry, please disregard. Evidently way too new... figured this one out... that said, I am still running into circular dependency issues for this model and would appreciate being directed to any documentation that is written for those of us who are not sql programmers :).... anything written in something that is a little more basic or plain english....
thank you!
Hi Niels_NL,
Change the DAX expression of revenueTotal a little bit and your %_Share expression would work.
revenueTotal = CALCULATE(SUM(tbl_Customer[revenue2014])+SUM(tbl_Customer[revenue2015])+SUM(tbl_Customer[revenue2016]),tbl_CustomerBase[customerID])
