Parameter Created from a query

Hi all

I create a parameter from a query and result is correct

 

 but if I try to insert this parameter in a ms-sql query to retrieve records, I have this error:
(Formula.Firewall: Query 'Controllo_DatiATT_xCommessa' (step 'Source') references other queries or steps, therefore cannot directly access a data source. Recompile the data combination.)

 

If I create a normal parameter inserting my data, it's working.

 

Where I'm in wrong? 

Any suggestion or help will be appreciated.

thanks in advance

    Hi DiePic ,

    To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

    Adjust Privacy Levels: Set the privacy levels for your data sources to ensure they are compatible. You can do this by going to File > Options and settings > Query options > Privacy, and then setting the privacy level for each source. 

    Combine Queries: If you're referencing other queries or steps, make sure that they are combined in a way that does not violate the privacy levels. This might involve restructuring your queries so that they are merged or appended within Power Query before being used in your SQL query.

    Use Parameters Directly: Instead of creating a parameter from a query, try using the parameter directly in your SQL query. Ensure that you're using native query parameters correctly.

    If you continue to experience issues, could you please provide more details about how you're creating the parameter from a query and how you're attempting to use it in your MS-SQL query? Specifically, it would be helpful to know:

    What is the exact method you are using to create the parameter from a query?
    How are you inserting the parameter into your MS-SQL query?
    Are you using any dynamic SQL or are you using a native query with parameters?
