Can someone please suggest the best way to get around this? It essentially happens for every custom field I try to create.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @TodGrindley,

 

Normally, when building complex DAX code or creating calculated tables, we may encounter the problem of circular dependency errors .

 

If it is convenient, could you share a dummy pbix file which can reproduce the scenario, so that we can help further investigate on it? You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.)

 

Besides, Here is a similar thread, you could refer to.

 

For further, you could have a good look at avoid circular dependency errors.

 

Best Regards,

Cherry
