We have an issue with publishing Power BI report. We are seeing the error "Column cannot be pushed to the remote data source "
The datasource is a live connection to another dataset, and a dataflow
Power BI Model:
We have a local model for the another dataset (aRUN)and with some calculated column with positive outcome.
We have then added a dataflow as a secondary data source.
We have then created a relationship between the article number (column Article) in the Dataflow table and the other dataset (column Group Article). (one to many, both files set as a text).
Output:
Output:
If we try to create a table, it is perfectly working and recognizing the relationship between dataset
aRUN dataset and excel column.
Problem
WE have to create calculations using information coming from the two tables (such as a division, if statement and so on). We cannot do these calculations if the values are not stored in the same table, so we trying to do a VALUELOOKUP to add the column from the range list (and the other excel) into the aRUN dataset.
For example, We tried to:
Vlookup the MOQ from the Range List (that we will later use for an if statement with the arun quantity)
Column = LOOKUPVALUE('Range List'[MinimumOrderQuantityArticle],'Range List'[Article],Arun[group_article])
In every situation, get this error:
Is there any we we can overcome this limitation?
Thanks,
Tanya.

@tanyapammy , is this model a combination of direct query and import mode? I doubt this will work. If this pure import mode, it should work
refer 4 ways (related, relatedtable, lookupvalue, sumx/minx/maxx with filter) to copy data from one table to another
