Merge query crashes when loading exceeds 100 MB

Hello folks!

I am struggling with the following situation. I have a data source with an Odata feed (pulling data from Business Central on Premise), and I need to append two queries for my data transformation, one of which came from merging two other queries. Unfortunately, when applying the appended query to Power BI and the loading goes over 100 MB, the loading crashes (I am getting the message: OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] OData: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host..) 

When I load the appended queries independently, the loads are complete as expected. Do you have any ideas about what causes the data load crash?

Hi, @Anonymous ;

The merge seems to cause an error, you can cancel the merge, use the LOOKUPVALUE function in the table instead to get the columns you needed and that seems to work out just fine.
