Power BI - Get Data - SQL Server Direct Query Issue with MAXDOP

Hi, I am trying to Get Data from a SQL Server and am having an issue with my direct query.

 

Data Connectivity Mode:  DirectQuery

SQL Statement includes --> MAXDOP of 1

 

Tail end of my SQL Query that contains the error:

Error Message when getting data to power bi:

Does anyone know if there is a way to get this query to work with the MAXDOP in my query?

are you concerned about overwhelming your SQL server?

 

can you show the rest of the Power Query code?
