Create a table using CROSSJOIN and then create relationship (circular dependency)

[KamilSzpyrka]

Hello,

I need to create a fact table in my model based on 2 dimension tables. I used CROSSJOIN function and create table as below.

The problem is I cannot link it to the source dimension tables now, because it creates circular dependency error. Is there any solution for this?

Thanks, Kamil

@KamilSzpyrka,

Try creating the cross join in Power Query:

I can't do this, since one of the tables is calculated table created in DAX.

@KamilSzpyrka,

Try using DISTINCT instead of VALUES. Also, make sure dDate is marked as a date table.
