Regarding circular reference while appending 2 tables in power query

Hello Friends,

 

I appreciate your time!! I am trying to append 2 tables but I am getting circular reference error:

 

let
Source = Snowflake.Databases("cimaBBO.ku-west-1.snowflakecomputing.com","dev_power_bi_wh"),
DEV_BBO_DB_Database = Source{[Name="DEV_BBO_DB",Kind="Database"]}[Data],
sights_Schema = DEV_BBO_DB_Database{[Name="sights",Kind="Schema"]}[Data],
TRANS_STORE_UPC_FACT_SS_Table = sights_Schema{[Name="TRANS_STORE_UPC_FACT_SS",Kind="Table"]}[Data],
#"Appended Query" = Table.Combine({TRANS_STORE_UPC_FACT_SS_Table, BRIDGE_KEY_SS})
in
#"Appended Query"

 

Kindly suggest!

 

Appreciate your time!!

 

Thank you!

 

Best,

Kiruthiga

Not sure why circular reference without seeing the other table definition.

 

Are they both coming from snowflake? Would be best practice to perform the union there in a view
