GENERATED Table

Hi,

 

I created a GENERATED Table and I have a circular dependancy. I don't understand why.

I can create a measure calling ALL(model) but not calling a specific model :

CALCULATE(
Q108[%Q108],
'model'[lib_model] IN {"Connect", "Transit Custom", "Transit", "Transit MHEV", "Transit Tourneo"}
),
makes a circular dependancy.

@clem312 this article from SQLBI may be of help to you:

The first thing I would try is replacing your "VALUES" functions with "DISTINCT" in your calculated table.

Hi @ebeery 

 

Thank you. I had first solved it using FILTER instead of comma.

But your answer is a great help as I have other tables where the blank row issue that is mentioned in you article would have occured.
