Adding Column to Label inside Gallery creates Circular Reference

Posted on by 347

Hi All.

 

I have a long formula inside the Items property of a gallery which takes into account slicers. I have a Text label called validate_Recon that shows a value of "OK" or "MISMATCH" based on a the sum of the fields inside the gallery.  I know I want to add a column to the gallery and sort the entire gallery where any items that are "MISMATCH" will be on top and any "OK" items will be sorted at the bottom. My current working formula looks like this:

If(_SuperUser,

// If SuperUser, Let's direct SuperUser to DetailList
Filter(DetailList, GM = _FindGM && Module = _FindModule && ERP = _FindERP && 
If(!IsBlank(dropAcctUnit.SelectedText.Value), AcctUnit = dropAcctUnit.SelectedText.Value, true) && 
If(!IsBlank(dropCompany.SelectedText.Value), Company = dropCompany.SelectedText.Value, true) &&
If(!IsBlank(dropCC.SelectedText.Value), CC = dropCC.SelectedText.Value, true) && 
If(!IsBlank(dropAccount.SelectedText.Value), Account = dropAccount.SelectedText.Value, true) &&
If(!IsBlank(dropBL.SelectedText.Value), BL = dropBL.SelectedText.Value, true) &&
If(!IsBlank(dropPL.SelectedText.Value), PL = dropPL.SelectedText.Value, true)
),

// Else Let's Re-direct to L2 Records
Filter(_L2Records, GM = _FindGM && Module = _FindModule && ERP = _FindERP &&
If(!IsBlank(dropAcctUnit.SelectedText.Value), AcctUnit = dropAcctUnit.SelectedText.Value, true) && 
If(!IsBlank(dropCompany.SelectedText.Value), Company = dropCompany.SelectedText.Value, true) &&
If(!IsBlank(dropCC.SelectedText.Value), CC = dropCC.SelectedText.Value, true) && 
If(!IsBlank(dropAccount.SelectedText.Value), Account = dropAccount.SelectedText.Value, true) &&
If(!IsBlank(dropBL.SelectedText.Value), BL = dropBL.SelectedText.Value, true) &&
If(!IsBlank(dropPL.SelectedText.Value), PL = dropPL.SelectedText.Value, true)
))


And here when I try to add a column it gives me a circular reference error:

How do I go about sorting my data and removing the circular reference?

    Hi @hnguy71 ,

    Could you show me the formula about validate_Recon?

    According to your error message, the definition of validate_Recon is related to the Filter function that you showed.

    If they effect each other, this will leads to cricle.

    So I suggest you try to set the Label's value to variable and try again.

    If it doesn't work, I suggest you modify the definition of validate_Recon.
