I think it is showing or representing curricular loop

Please check

Data Model

To find the exact cause of the above warning we can look at the data model by using the menu command for table viewer - Control+T. The following screen comes up, which clearly shows the circular reference. Here the join between RegionCountry and SalesRegion can be directly achieved using the field Region. It can also be achieved by first going to the table ProductCountry, using the field Country and then mapping ProdcutID with Salesregion.

Hello!

For avoiding loops try to use unique keys for all fact tables and dimension tables (dictionaries). Multiple syntethic keys can be the reason why loop had appeared.

Does this have anything to do with dotted lines or circular references? If not, please post a new question regarding the rounding of numbers, and close this one. Thanks.
