Hi @SurendraD ,

 

Given the error message you shared, it appears that the calculated column you are trying to create in the table somehow ends up referencing itself.

 

I suggest you create measure instead of calculated column to achieve your needs.

 

Here is a case solution that may be useful to you:

If you want a deeper understanding of circular dependencies, see below:

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.

 

I would be grateful if you could provide me with sample data for testing, please remove any sensitive data in advance.
