This rule creates a circular reference between properties, which is not allowed. 
A property cannot reference itself or other properties affected by its value.

If(Dropdown.Selected.Value="Metric",Textinput.Text,Value(Textinput.Text*25.4))
If(Dropdown.Selected.Value="Imperial",Textinput2.Text,Textinput2.Text/25.4)
Is there a way to fix this issue

    You do not explain where the expressions are
    If(Dropdown.Selected.Value="Metric",Textinput.Text,Value(Textinput.Text*25.4))
    If(Dropdown.Selected.Value="Imperial",Textinput2.Text,Textinput2.Text/25.4)
     
    where did you type these?
     
    If you typed them in each other meaning 2 in 1 and 1 in 2 you cannot do that as it just keeps bouncing it back and force
     
    Can you explain please what you need and we can help
     
    Cheers
