Getting an "Expression.Error: A cyclic reference was encountered during evaluation." for my recursive function in PowerBI Service Dataflows.

Hi @hstance ,
how can you be sure that it is a bug? Then you should report it.

Otherwise maybe you share your query code so we can check if anything else might be wrong with it.
