Hi pattemmanohar,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I can only screenshot the error for data confidentiality purpose :
Hope this help to better understand the trouble.

Based on the screenshot, I guess the query has more than one field with "Name" as columnname... Please check and have unique alias names....

Verify, if you can see multiple column names with name "Name" by navigativing to "Advanced Editor". You could get this error, when you merge queries, so validate from which query you get duplicate names. And change the column names before doing merge. It solves the issue.
