Existing Power BI report now has circular dependencies in Data Table.

I have a BI report which I use to track daily sales performance against YTD and MTD targets.

 

The report has been up and working for 2 years now and I update it regularly. However, today the report opens with the below message. It will not refresh and won't do anything now it has circular dependencies. 

 

I have not changed anything in my report, formatting, columns or anything. But today it has just stopped working.

 

Any thoughts? How can I fix my report?

hi @LowriDragon 

This is  known issue if you're using CALENDARAUTO.  It is better to specify the start and end dates using CALENDAR than let DAX do it for you.

Something so simple but annoying haha

I have no idea why the error started last week. I have changed the report to not use Calendar Auto.

 

Thanks!
