Referencing same line item of prev row

Hi,

 

I am facing issue in trying to reference the same item of prev row. For example,

This is the Excel formula for a line item ‘Calendar Month’ :

 

 IF Calendar month of prev row = 12 THEN 1 ELSE Calendar month of prev row + 1

 

Has anyone faced similar issue? The Else part of the formula gives circular reference.

    You can use CUMULATE formula for this. Cumulate by Month No. list via Count. https://help.anaplan.com/1173a903-81bb-4838-a4d0-1c9f9c739aa3-CUMULATE
    CUMULATE(1,[boolean to recet counter],[month no. list])

    boolean to reset counter can be based on Start month = Val_Date

    As per my understanding , use the cumulate function - the Boolean line item used to reset the start month

    Thank you. I was able to resolve the functions for Month/Year related line items using Cumulative. 

    But I have similar issues with other line items too, where we cannot use Cumulate() or Mod().

     

    For Example:

    These items are dependent on each other, hence giving circular reference

    Any workaround for this?
