PrivacyError: Query references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source

Hi,

 

I'm getting the following error when trying to update dataset at app.powerbi.com:

 

I've read through Dealing with errors and Data Privacy Firewall, set Privacy to None in both the report and Gateway options, and still I'm getting what appears to be data privacy error. The error appears only when trying to update from app.powerbi.com, updating via Power BI Desktop works as intended.

 

Any suggestions on how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

  • Also tried to set privacy levels for both, gateway and report, to Organizational: no luck, same issue.

  • Never mind, I've found the problem, basically the solution is described here.

  • Hi mai_academ,

    I also read this article and was wondering if you could help me to better understand it. I already implemented a staging area in my queries which you can see right here. But my query is still resulting in described error message. Is there anything I missed?

    Regards
