Formula.Firewall: Query

Hi experts!

 

I changed the path of my datasource to another file, but when I applied it I got a firewall error:

Formula.Firewall: Query 'f_cas' (step 'Expanded Table Column1') references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source. Please rebuild this data combination.

 

I want to know how I can solve this. I have read som posts that this can happen when you merge to sources but Im not merging. I just applied the same step with a different file name so dont undertsand why its not working?

 

We have already defined a Brand variable which tells which file path to select for the current brand report. Thats why we have this query: the yellow is the only thing I changed

then I have another query which packs out the file in the way we want: the yellow is the only thing I changed

Can anyone please tell me why its not working and how I can fix this?
