calcualted column
1 TopicCircular dependency when using calculated column
Hello! This is my scenario. I have one table with % rates for different terms. My goal is to display a line graph that shows how the rate increases over time. So, if the rate in the first term was 1% and the rate in the second term was 2%, I want to see it it ploted as 1%, 3%. My approach so far was to create a calculated column(Result) based on a Rate and Value columns, using the value as an index to keep adding the previous Rate to the next one. It worked so far. My problem is that I manually entered the Rate values but want them to be dynamical, calculating them from another table where the data is. What I tried is another calculated column that does that calculation and now I have the ActualRate. When I tried to now substitute the new ActualRate for the original Rate in my Result column. I get a circular dependency error, so I got stuck there. I tried replacing the ActualRate calculated column as a measure, but the thing is that it does not add the previous values, it just displays the term. Here is my code for the Result calculated column: Result = VAR _currentRATE = Progression[Rate] VAR _currentValue = Progression[Value] VAR _sum = SUMX(FILTER('Progression', Progression[Value] <= _currentValue), Progression[Rate]) VAR _last0 = CALCULATE(MAX(Progression[Value]), FILTER(Progression, Progression[Value] < _currentValue && Progression[Value] = 0)) RETURN IF(_currentRATE = 0, 0, SUMX(FILTER(Progression, Progression[Value] >= _last0 && Progression[Value] <= _currentValue), Progression[Rate])) and my code for the ActualRate calculated column or measure: ActualRate = if( CALCULATE(sum(Masterfile[Awarded]),Masterfile[STATUS]="GRD") * 100 = 0, 0,CALCULATE(sum(Masterfile[Awarded]),Masterfile[STATUS]="GRD") * 100) This is how my columns look like: And this is the current Result (with the measure) agains the expected Result (with the Rate calculated column): Any help is greatly appreciated!
