Loops,Fan Traps and chasm Traps
Hello All,
I was just wondering if anyone has faced Loops, Fan Traps or chasm Traps like in we have in "SAP Business objects "modeling. Do we face such kind of issues in Power BI Modelling? If we encounter a scenario, how do we resolve it?

HI Anonymous ,
Do you means circular dependency ? If this is a case, current power bi not allow you to create circular dependency fields. When power bi recognize this type of calculation, it will display error message and skip calculate on these parts.

No not circular dependency.
circular dependency: A Dependency when one measure is interdependent on each other.

I am talking in a scenario where the join of 3 tables in modeling results in more records, as we have in SAP Universe.
