Dataflow with different data sources fails

I have a dataflow where I would like to combine 2 tables from 2 different datasources with a merge query (merge as new), however I keep getting errors with the connections.

 

Here is the situation:

  • Table A: Oracle on premise database (using on prem gateway)
  • Table B: Dataverse table

Both tables share a same column where I would like to execute a merge query (join left-anti) into a new table (Table C).

This is the result:

 

If I merge the other way around I get this:

I have the "Allow combining data from multiple datasources....." checked, but this doesn't change anything.

Is it simply not possible to do this or am I missing something?

 

Thanks!

    Don't do that, especially not in a dataflow.  Leave the tables alone and combine them in the Power BI data model of the dataset that consumes the dataflow.

     

    What is your reasoning for pulling Dataverse information into a dataflow?
