Circular reference detected

Post by DYthat »

I am very new to Jamovi, I am transforming my data to numbers and there is an error saying that a "circular reference is detected". If someone could help that would be amazing.

a circular reference is where the calculation depends on a column, which depends on the original column.

for example, column A might have the formula B + 1, and the column B might have the fomula A + 1 ... this is circular.
