I am facing an issue with a DAX formula: CALENDAR in Power BI Desktop, but this error does not occur when working in the web version.
I haven't opened the file in a while, but now I need to edit it and it gives me an error. I also can't modify it, the relationships or anything because when I update I get that error again.
"Unable to execute DAX A circular dependency was detected: Calendario[Calendario], 9b3bc1bb-cce3-1a00-c758-644ece7343be, Calendario[Date], Calendario[Calendario]."
Solved! Go to Solution.
Don't use Auto Date/Time, don't use CALENDARAUTO
Replace the formula with Calendar = CALENDAR(DATE(2019, 1, 1), TODAY())
and reassembled the graphs containing Date. This solved the problem, a future without an automatic calendar used!
