circular dependency was detected

I have 2 columns in the SalesData table

 

SalesMode
Sales Amount


Formula:
XYZ = IF(AND(SalesData[SalesMode] = "Online", SalesData[SalesAmount] <= 600), "Met", "Not Met")

 

Error:
A circular dependency was detected: SalesData[SalesAmount], SalesData[XYZ], SalesData[SalesAmount].

 

Please help, Thank you

  • I made a table with just the two columns and added in some dummy data:

    I was able to add a calculated column using the same DAX you had and didn't get a circular reference error, however, I would recommend adding columns in Power Query instead of calculated columns with DAX.
