Hi Anonymous ，
Please read this document to evaluate whether to configure the privacy level for the data source.
Understand Power BI Desktop privacy levels - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
If the data does not contain highly sensitive or confidential, you can choose to Ignore the Privacy levels and potentially improve performance.

How to get your questions answered quickly -- How to provide sample data
Doing this is what is causing the problem. Unless you go back to "Combine data..." the "Pending Changes" messages si there.
We're looking for a solution when we want to ignore the privacy levels (some queries won't work otherwise).
The only way to fix this is to open the file in Power BI Desktop and then:
File -> Options and settings -> Options -> Current File -> Privacy -> Combine Data according to your privacy levels for each source.
The feature described in the link above https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/desktop-privacy-levels does not work.If you try to Ignore the Privacy levels, you get an error that cannot be removed.
I ran into the same error but Combine Data was already selected. When I clicked Ignore the Privacy Level settings, it fixed the error. Strange that my solution was opposite yours.
