Privacy - Firewall error; rebuilding query requirement

If Power Bi is sensitive about a query that I've joined with an API to a public source, how do I clean that query and keep my privacy settings.  While the query may have eventually started with sensitive data (initially sourced from an internal dbase), it's been cleaned/filtered to only include Ticker symbols and descriptions so nothing that should be overly sensitive to pass on.

 

Is there any way of copying this clean data (tickers/descriptions) to a clean table and Power BI be willing to pass this through?

 

When I turn privacy off for file, the query runs without issue.

 

All assistance appreciated.

In most cases yes, you can avoid data privacy errors in the Power BI Service. This video covers pretty much everything I know about the subject and may answer your questions: https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2020/06/21/video-power-bi-data-privacy-settings-deep-dive/
