I have source data in dremio and excel base data base uploaded in the power bi workbook.
Now I am trying to build a SQL query which will process in the source section, where the data from Dremio and e Data loaded from Excel will work as table in this query.
E.g.
Source = Value.NativeQuery(Dremio.DatabasesV370("dremio.com:1010", "Disabled", null, null, null, []),
"Select * from Dremiodatabase LEFT JOIN" & EXCEL_DATA & "ON Dremiodatabase.Unique = EXCEL_DATA.Unique"
Here highlighted in red EXCEL_DATA actually works as refrence to the table imported in power bi.
However while excuting the query getting this error : (step 'Source') references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source. Please rebuild this data combination.
Please help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Those are small tables. Load them as is and do the filtering in DAX.
Dremiodatabase has more than 10 L of rows data and EXCEL_DATA have 84K of rows data
Those are small tables. Load them as is and do the filtering in DAX.
Do as they ask. Rebuild this data combination.
