Hi,

I’m trying to set up an iterative calculation to use the PREVIOUSOF function to address a circular reference. However, in my application the setup doesn’t appear the same as described in the article “Iterative Calculations Across Multiple Blocks Using PREVIOUSOF.”

Instead of showing options for Cycle Name, Iteration Dimension, and Metrics That Can Reference Each Other (as mentioned in the article), it only gives me the option to add an iterative calculation and asks me to select the Base Metric and Allowed Metric.

Hi ​@Md Saquib ,

At the time of your post, iterative calculations were being enhanced with the introduction of PreviousOf, and it’s possible you were still on the legacy version that was being phased out.

Are you still experiencing issues when setting up the iterative calculation? If so, feel free to share more details here, or reach out to our Support Team for assistance, they’ll be happy to help.

Thank you!
