you are not only a PBI master, you are a mind reader as well . I had to get some work done and was hitting exactly the circular dependency scenario when creating a bridge table - this technique saved me tons of hours of research - THANK YOU !!! Grazie caro!!!!
Thank you so much for this. Just to help you in your English grammar since you helped me in my DAX, after "did" you need to put everything in past tense, so "is" becomes "was" and you also need to turn the gerund "creating" into the verb "to create." So instead of "What I did is creating a table" one says, "What I did was to create a table"
Thank you so much for your explanation! You've helped me a lot. I was stuck on this circular dependency problem and your video was the only one that really helped me to solve it. From now on I'll make sure to properly set the "ALLEXCEPT" in all my "CALCULATE" functions. Keep doing your videos. Excellent content! Many thanks from Brazil (:
So not only are the SQLBI guys putting out great content, but now they are also mastering the art of the TH-cam thumbnail image 😀. Love the expression Alberto. Keep up the good work, we all benefit from it!
Thanks a lot for sharing this with us! I struggled to understand why my calculate table was not accepting the relationship. Now I understood. Thanks again!
Amazing !! you wonderfully explained how to avoid Circular dependency, this helped me in many cases and to understand how Power BI deals with it in backend. Thanks a lot for the help !! :)
Amazing! I was struggling with this. I could not solve it, so I turned to SQL. Now I know. 😀 Just curious if you would use calculated table, whether that would be faster than using the filter function.
Hi Alberto, I wonder what makes you good for the other ,i mean DAX make you good for chess game (I saw one behind you) or the opposite, but you have to choose one answer or it will be circular dependency🤣 great video, best continuation
When I use ALLEXCEPT some of my data changed and 2 rows were removed from the calculation analysis. I dont know how to figure out what is right or wrong!
Hi, I am experiencing this error but didn't use the CALCULATE expression at all. This error came up when I try to create bins from a calculated column (percentage progress) by a measure divided by a measure. Can you please help?
I have a table created by CALENDARAUTO(12 as my fiscal year value) , I want to create separate column in the same table that returns "Year-Month" in format "2021-May". How can I achieve this through DAX ?
Pease can you help me with this situation: Daily balance = [Receive] + backlog - analyzed backlog = var previous balance = calculate ( [Daily balance], Dateadd( Calendar[Date], - 1, Day) ) return previous balance I tried multiple things but nothing worked. Calculate column's, measure, nothing worked
I get a ciruclar dependency that i do not understand. I want to create a relationship on a calculated table. I've simplified the Table as much as possible to exclude Issues and the Modell has no RI Violations, so no Blank Rows: CrossEmpl = VAR _Empl1 = SUMMARIZECOLUMNS( Employees[DAEmplID] , 'Date'[CY Month] -- this is to group by month (first date of Month) , "@CE Hours", [HP Hours] -- HP Hours = SUM ( HoursPosition[HP_Hours] ) ) RETURN _Empl1 If i want to create relationships with the Employee or Date Table i get this Errors: A circular dependency was detected: CrossEmpl[CrossEmpl-...guid..,ae4], ...guid...c62(*changing), CrossEmpl[DAEmplId], CrossEmpl[CrossEmpl-...guid...ae4]. A circular dependency was detected: CrossEmpl[CrossEmpl-...guid..,ae4], ...guid...09c(*changing), CrossEmpl[CY Month], CrossEmpl[CrossEmpl-...guid...ae4]. * changes with each try If i replace Employees[DAEmplID] by HoursPosition[DAEMPLID] i can create the Relation. But for Date this is not possible as i want to group by month. Any Ideas why this is causing a Cirular Dependency: My Idea is now to duplicate the Date Table and use the Related Columns and not the Related Table, but i do not like this. Other Idea is to add year and month or Month (First Date of month) as Columns to my Source Table. But i would need to to this for three tables... select DATABASE_NAME, TABLE_ID, ROWS_COUNT, RIVIOLATION_COUNT from $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_STORAGE_TABLES WHERE RIViolation_Count > 0 => Nothing
If you are creating the Date table with a calculated table, it could be that one of the columns of the new calculated table has a date data type.

@@SQLBI No, Date Table is imported from my SQL Database. I just realized that DAX doesn't know date (only DateTime) even that i've cast all Dates to Date. But Problem is also with my DAEmplId (Dataarea Employee ID). Again: If i replace DAEmplId with the Key Column on the Fact table it is working. But if i use the Dimension Table this Error is caused.
Please, try to reproduce the problem with the data model of the article and write a comment in the article if you can do that, otherwise it's impossible to analyze the problem in more detail. Thanks!
Excellent. I'm beginer DAX and I red from your book about it, it was very clearly but waching with vidio is a big pleasure. Thank you Mr Alberto

Excellent. I’m just wondering if you know how good your videos are for everyone who is eager to learn DAX? Thank you Alberto!
Words cannot express how helpful this was. I was just about to give up until I found this.
Show!!!!
Being able to resolve an addiction by watching this video. Thanks!!!
Amazing !! you wonderfully explained how to avoid Circular dependency, this helped me in many cases and to understand how Power BI deals with it in backend. Thanks a lot for the help !! :)
Thank you for the video, really helped understanding why this kind of errors occurs.
Fantastic video...I have been struggling with this issue long enough!
You are awesome! I was working for this issue for so long! Thanks alot!
Amazing! I was struggling with this. I could not solve it, so I turned to SQL.
Now I know. 😀

This video is a lifesaver, thank you so much!! Been Battling this issue for days and you helped me understand and solve my problem ;-)
Hi, So breaking circular dependency this way will not break data lineage.
Thank you 👍
You are convencing me to take the dax course ...
This video was a life saver, thank you so much and keep it going, you're a master!
Thanks!!!! Solved hours of headache.
Love you, buddy. Always helping me out
Hi Alberto, I wonder what makes you good for the other ,i mean DAX make you good for chess game (I saw one behind you) or the opposite, but you have to choose one answer or it will be circular dependency🤣
great video, best continuation
When I use ALLEXCEPT some of my data changed and 2 rows were removed from the calculation analysis. I dont know how to figure out what is right or wrong!
Amazing! this solved my issue in 10seconds. Thanks for the video
How do we resolve the circular dependency between measures....Any idea?
Absolutely fantastic! Really insightful
5 min into this video and it solved my problem.
Thank you. It help me save a lot of times.
This is so helpful. Thanks again Alberto!
Extremely useful! Thanks a lot!
Hi, I am experiencing this error but didn't use the CALCULATE expression at all. This error came up when I try to create bins from a calculated column (percentage progress) by a measure divided by a measure. Can you please help?
A measure reference internally implies CALCULATE to perform the context transition.
I have a table created by CALENDARAUTO(12 as my fiscal year value) , I want to create separate column in the same table that returns "Year-Month" in format "2021-May". How can I achieve this through DAX ?
You can see examples here: www.daxpatterns.com/time-patterns/
Excellent video!! :) 👍
Thank you sir. Simple and great explanation
Thanks a lot Alberto... really helpful!!!!
Amazing video!!! Thanks!

Tried everything but nothing worked
DAX doesn't have recursion, you should compute that in a different way (better to prepare the data in advance).
why your results are considering the only the row, and mine is bringing the count of rows of the all table inside all cells?
nvm got it, it was the PK
Molto Grazie !
Thanks a lot, help me a lot !!!
Perfect was my problem today :)
👍👍
Thanks Alberto!! You ended my misery!
wow, amazing!
genius
I get a ciruclar dependency that i do not understand.
I want to create a relationship on a calculated table.
I've simplified the Table as much as possible to exclude Issues and the Modell has no RI Violations, so no Blank Rows:
CrossEmpl =
VAR _Empl1 =
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
Employees[DAEmplID]
, 'Date'[CY Month] -- this is to group by month (first date of Month)
, "@CE Hours", [HP Hours] -- HP Hours = SUM ( HoursPosition[HP_Hours] )
)
RETURN _Empl1
If i want to create relationships with the Employee or Date Table i get this Errors:
A circular dependency was detected: CrossEmpl[CrossEmpl-...guid..,ae4], ...guid...c62(*changing), CrossEmpl[DAEmplId], CrossEmpl[CrossEmpl-...guid...ae4].
A circular dependency was detected: CrossEmpl[CrossEmpl-...guid..,ae4], ...guid...09c(*changing), CrossEmpl[CY Month], CrossEmpl[CrossEmpl-...guid...ae4].
* changes with each try
If i replace Employees[DAEmplID] by HoursPosition[DAEMPLID] i can create the Relation.
But for Date this is not possible as i want to group by month.
Any Ideas why this is causing a Cirular Dependency:
My Idea is now to duplicate the Date Table and use the Related Columns and not the Related Table, but i do not like this.
Other Idea is to add year and month or Month (First Date of month) as Columns to my Source Table.
But i would need to to this for three tables...
select DATABASE_NAME, TABLE_ID, ROWS_COUNT, RIVIOLATION_COUNT
from $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_STORAGE_TABLES WHERE RIViolation_Count > 0
=> Nothing
