I am creating a model.
But when I input something on the line items, then there are errors "circular reference" popping up". Would you help?
Hi,
For the folks out there, the circular reference happened during a module creation, because of an error in Standard Version formula, i.e. Forecast = Actual - Forecast.
The circular reference error didn't happen during the Standard Version formula processing, but during the creation of a module involving standard Version.
Thanks,

Hi Peggy,
Please provide more context, descriptions and screen shots of your model for us to help.
But essentially, you get a circular reference problem when you create a line item that refers to itself, eg
Line Item A = 2 * 'Line item A'
I can't add excel or pdf file or add screen shots here. As I don't have JPEG
Can you give me an email address to me so that I can send you screen shot
You can do a 'Print Screen', i.e. look for 'prt sc' on your keyboard.
Then you can insert photo by clicking on the icon as shown below:
Here attached is the reference
I have worked on it for 5 hours. Many errors. And now it is 7:05pm in HK. Please kindly help. urgent
Did you get the error message when you clicked 'Ok' and tried to create the module?
Normally we get circular reference error when we tried to process a formula.
Can you try inserting only 1 line item, eg Units and see if the module can be created?
I tried… Same error, so I couldn't create a module at all
I have tried, same error. So I can't create a module at all

Great job @LipChean_Soh LipChean! Thanks for sharing it.
I hope @peggyhai managed to have dinner in time! haha.
I was getting this circular reference error in my Excel application. So I can tell you how I have fixed this error in Excel.
Well, this particular circular reference error occurs when the formula either directly or indirectly refers to the cell in which it is already contained. Due to this, the formula starts calculating the already obtained result which leads to generating this type of error.
Give it a try at all the fixes listed in this post. I found this article very helpful as the listed solution worked in my case.

I am attempting to connect to an azure SQL database vis at the MSSQL connector in data orchestrator but am having issues and I believe it is due to hyphens in database name (which is a fairly standard naming convention I will note!) Example below (fake credentials) - has anyone else encountered similar and is there a way…
Hi, for some reason my shipping costs are the same over every month and I don't know what to do to fix it.
Hello folks, Does anyone know how to work around the Polaris limitation of using the Formula or Ratio summary method alongside the Closing Balance within the same line item? I have a Business Unit list where the total (All BUs) must display the Corporate (1 of 20 leaf items under All BUs total) number of Unique Customers.…
