Circular Dependency detected issue

Hello all,

 

Here is a link to my demo-table. I want to create the same table using DAX in PowerPivot Data Model but can't figure out how. The problem is a circular dependency. Can someone please help?

In your query, duplicate your F column. Use that column to calculate C.

Yes, that is going to create a circular dependency, not sure what else to say. E comes from C, F comes from C and E and C depends on F, so...

Thank you for reviewing. Any chance to avoid circular dependency here?

Do you mean in PowerQuery? I don't see this column there 😞 It should be calculated one

You should listen to Greg.  Column C points to F and F points to C.  It doesn't matter that the rows are different. it works column by column, not row by row.  I suspect you may be able to do it with a combination of combining the formulas into 1 or 2 columns, plus using this technique I show here. https://exceleratorbi.com.au/user-specified-growth-investment-using-power-bi/
