Cyclic reference in DAX created table

[bpn1973]

Hello!

I have three dimension tables with stocks from three of our bases. Each table has a number of identical goods with an identical ID (Vendor Code) and some unique articles. What I need to do is create a table that contains unique article codes from 3 tables. 

I've created a new table using simple dax expression

ID_ARTICLES =

VAR ARTICLES_UIS =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( UIS_ID_GOODS[Артикул] ),
UIS_ID_GOODS[Артикул] <> BLANK ())

VAR ARTICLES_NRST =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( NRST_ID_GOODS[Артикул] ),
NRST_ID_GOODS[Артикул] <> BLANK ())

VAR ARTICLES_ITRP =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( ITRP_ID_GOODS[Артикул] ),
ITRP_ID_GOODS[Артикул] <> BLANK ())

RETURN
DISTINCT ( UNION ( ARTICLES_UIS, ARTICLES_NRST, ARTICLES_ITRP ) )

Connections with 2 of the tables were established, though a third one returned a cycle warning.

Is there a way to identify which rows return a cycle?

Or any other ideas of a workaround/

Thank you!

@bpn1973 what is that exact error?

[bpn1973]

Ah, sorry. The part in Russian means "Changes cannot be saved to the server. An error is returned: A cyclic connection is found:" and the rest is desciption of the cyclic relation

Nailed it. I had a hierarchy in the third query that included Article column. I've deleted the Hierarchy and connection was established.
