When I try to insert a formula in B10 of an Excel Table, I get the Circular References Errors message.
B10 was the cell with the formula that I keyed in, and it refers to A10, and A10 has another formula.
When the enter key was pressed, a blue line with arrow shows up.
Please refer to the sample file.
Thanks for the help.

One of the two cells (A10 and B10) can use the other to calculate its value, but they cannot use each other - that is what has caused the circular rference error.

Thanks, Ali & TMS.
I will try to find a workaround.
Formula in B10 refers to (2) Start - schedule date | OVERDUE Days (A10). But A10 refers to (5) Finish - Target date | DELAY Days (B10). Hence circular reference.
