Circular dependency was detected

When I create a new column, power bi auto creates another new column at back end and no show in my data table causing error for circular dependency was detected.

Hi @sglee ,

It seems that [5 CSI] is a measure or calculated column, if it is, can you show me the DAX [5 CSI] used?
It is possible that the context in [5 CSI] is causing this error to be reported.

Best Regards,
Dino Tao

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Below is the DAX for CSI

Hi @sglee 

If your code looks correct, that is if you do not see any obvious circular dependencies, then there are two possible causes for a hidden circular dependency:

  • You are using context transition inside a calculated column.
  • You are creating a relationship that involves either a calculated column or a calculated table.

Please check the link for more details and also share the Data model screenshot.

I has been using this code for other report and the field in the code is within the same data table. The problem is I not able to found Survey[Column] in my data table. Noticed that after i created [2023 Satisfaction] it will appear [Column] but not found in the Survey data table

Check the column in the Data model view or Power query editor. The column may be hidden in the report view.
