Hi
I am trying to make a new column and it works perfectly, but when I copy the dax to make another column (almost the same column), I meet an error message "Circular Dependency was detected".
The function for the column that works:
How can that be possible? it is the same dax function?
Best regards
Rune
@Anonymous Have you tried to explore below articles to understand the reason behind circular dependency

Hi @Anonymous ,
Circular dependency error occurs when you are trying to create calculated columns in your dataset. Here you are trying to create nearly same column which is already there.
I would suggest creating a measure rather tan a column.

HI
I need to be able to slice on the "kuranskode". The function returns 1,2,3,4 or 5. If I make to a measure, I can't put it in a slicer.

Hi @Anonymous ,
There is a workaround to use a Measure as a slicer in Power BI. Refer following blog:

Thanks,
