Formula.Firewall: Query references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data sour
Well, whatever the problem was resulting in this error only for particular one or two tables, I managed to resolve it using Excel Guru's guide (Ken Puls): http://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2015/03/11/power-query-errors-please-rebuild-this-data-combination/
Basically, as freder1ck brilliantly summarized: "...each query needs to be loaded into a staging query first. Then, you can combine these staging queries."
Just made two references from origianl queries then merged them. It seemed like it still put "i" sign, yet made the merge without me interfering in the privacy/security settings.
Thanks Fred! freder1ck

No, got it today as well.
I'm trully clueless what might be the cause.
The common reason is a mix between external and internal sources resulting in security issues.
However, as I mentioned, all my tables come from the same excel, so it's beyond me why only one table is with the problem.
