To do so, follow these steps:
From the left pane of Power Query Editor, select the query into which you want the other query to merge.
Select Merge Queries > Merge Queries from the Home tab on the ribbon.
Select State from the RetirementStats table, then select the StateCodes query. 
Select OK.

Hi @Anonymous ,

What data sources is your report connected to? Single or multiple data sources? What is the connection mode? Can the report be refreshed properly in Power BI Desktop? The following one is the thread which has the same error message, please review it. Hope the solution can help you solve the problem...

how to solve Object reference not set to an instance of an object in Power BI and the source file is an Excel Macro file

The error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" is not for anything specific. Issues can be related to different problematic area. You can try this below to search your luck-
  1. Download the latest version of Power BI desktop
  2. Try to match the version (32/64 bit) between your OS and Power BI desktop software
  3. reconnect the data source and then check everything works for you or not after publishing the report

Best Regards
