Hi All, looked at few links on circular dependency error but still not following .. i have this scenario where i have to this using DAX columns only...not in Power Query
1).I am trying to create a column that includes the buckets
2).Create another column and sort the column created in Step #1 to sort ...but iam getting circular dependency error
Step#1
NoEvidence=
SWITCH(TRUE(),
(
JIRA#=BLANK() && DaysToExp>=0 && DaysToExp <=3 && TrackerStatus <> "Completed" && Status <> "Inactive", "0-3",
JIRA#=BLANK() && DaysToExp>=4 && DaysToExp <=11 && TrackerStatus <> "Completed" && Status <> "Inactive", "4-11",
JIRA#=BLANK() && DaysToExp>=12 && DaysToExp <=30 && TrackerStatus <> "Completed" && Status <> "Inactive", "12-30",
JIRA#=BLANK() && DaysToExp>=31 && TrackerStatus <> "Completed" && Status <> "Inactive", ">=31",
"NotApplicable" --Else part
)
Step#2
NoEvidenceSort=
IF(NoEvidence="0-3",1,
IF(NoEvidence="4-11",2,
IF(NoEvidence="12-30",3,
IF(NoEvidence=">=31",4,
IF(NoEvidence="NotApplicable",5
)))))
Step3
When I select NoEvidence column and click on sort by column and select the NoEvidenceSort - this is where i get the no circular dependency error
any insights/helpful ideas are really appreciate
Hi, @Raj007 ;
I think here you could use DaysToExp column as sort column. Or can you share a simple file and show the output you want ?
Looking forward to your reply!

@Raj007 , Create a new column
NoEvidence 1 =[NoEvidence]
Now mark NoEvidenceSort as the sort column for NoEvidence 1 and use NoEvidence 1 in visual
