Hi I was trying to categorize ageing number of days into two types i.e >30 and <30 . ageing is calculated on the basis of the month selected in the filter if we are filtering to current month then

ageing number of days = current date - approved date {approved date being a column in my dataset}

else

ageing number of days = last date of the selected month - approved date

i have created the following measures 

Last_Date = EOMONTH([TIME_ID_DATE],0)........{calculated column}

Last_day_of_month = CALCULATE(LASTDATE(D_TIME_PERIOD[Last_date]),ALLEXCEPT(D_TIME_PERIOD,D_TIME_PERIOD[YEAR],D_TIME_PERIOD[MONTH])) .................{calculated measure}

Ageing_number_of_days = If(MONTH([Last_day_of_month])=[this.month],DATEDIFF(F_RR_DETAIL[D_APPROVED_DATE],TODAY(),DAY),DATEDIFF([D_APPROVED_DATE],[Last_day_of_month],day)).............{calculated column}

@RashmitaR

Is this DAX statement for a measure or column? Try making a new column using DAX instead.

Right click your table/dataset and click "New Column" instead of "New Measure".

As the error message indicated, your have circular dependency between measure: Ageing_number_of_days and column:F_PR_DETAIL[Column]. Please check the expression of this calculated measure, it supposes to have [Ageing_number_of_days] referenced in its expression which causes the error. Please refer to article below to understand this error:
