circular dependamcy error

i am trying to convert a measure into a column using bands = [ banding]

however i keep getting the error 'circular dependancy'

 

i need to create the column so i am able to use the measure variables as a slicer

 

the bands provide me with colour groups based on % 

however i need to show the number of people in each band

any ideas what i could do?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Regarding the circular dependency error, it occurs when a calculation depends on itself, directly or indirectly. In Power BI, this can happen when you create a calculated column that refers to itself, or when you have multiple calculated columns that refer to each other.

The following similar post explains in depth the cause of the problem and how to fix it.
