Formula column in dataverse dependency depth error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Whenever I try to add another expression (summing another column, "+ [other column]") to a specific formula column, I get an error that says "Dependency depth for [other column] exceeded max allowed limit. Please fix the dependency tree for this attribute." The other column doesn't appear to be causing the issue, because I can include it in other formula columns without any issue. The column in question does have more references than any of my other columns... is there a limit to how many other columns I can include in a formula column expression? This formula has 6 references to the same table and 6 references to columns in a related table (via lookup column). Am I hitting some limit I'm not aware of?

    I have not encountered that issue before, but because of the error message, could it be that one of the formula column with the problem already includes one of the columns in "other column" or that any of the columns used in "other column" are being used in the "another column"?

    Hi @jschwers 

     

    I think Specific Column used in multiple places or Try to Simplify your formula for the same.

    Hello, @jschwers, This could be similar to the Lookup limitation of Power Fx in Canvas Apps. Try to reduce the reference to 10 or less and see if that would solve the problem. If it does, then the limit is 10 references.
