Hi All,
Need your Help....
I am facing circular dependency error while creating calculated colums.
I have create four measures MTD Actual ,MTD Plan ,YTD Actual & YTD Plan and one backend generated colum Flags.
Now I have to calculate varriance MTD and Varriance YTD with below calculation
YTD varriance = IF(VW_ARC_DETAILED_TRACKER[FLAGS]="POST",DIVIDE(CALCULATE([YTD ACTUAL]),CALCULATE([YTD PLAN]))-1,
1-DIVIDE(CALCULATE([YTD ACTUAL]),CALCULATE([YTD PLAN])))
First one is working fine but second one is giving error of circular dependency.
In case if i create measure instead of colum ,it doesnot allow to use colum (Flags) in calculation.
Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!!
Hi VivekPBI,
Which one is the second one?
Surely we can use column (Flags) in a measure by working with functions like MIN, MAX, etc.
Seems the [YTD varriance] can't be calculated column. It's better to be a measure.
Can you share a sample, please?
Best Regards,
Dale
