Datatouille. I've tried that, but making a column causes it to always give me the error of a circular dependency. Using a measure works, but then I can't display things in a calendar visualization :(

 

How does one defeat the circular dependency error?

    Hi cornelverster,

     

    To further investigate on the circular dependency error, could you post the formula you're using for the measure [DaysLeft], and your table structures with some sample data which can reproduce the issue? It's better to share a sample pbix file. You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.:smileyhappy:
