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

I have reviewed many of the discussion posts related to this but couldn't find one that exactly fit my scenario. Here, I have a Dataverse table (Production) that i'm trying to append two different Excel Spreadsheets (Archives) to. The Excel files are stored in the documents area of Teams. I have set the privacy level to "Public" based on the "solved" posts on other discussion topics but it has not resolved my error. 

Can anyone shed some light on this for a possible resolution?

  • Hi TheBishopEmpire ,

     

    I'm not super-knowledgable in the Dataverse space I'm afraid, but in Power Query I would try switching off Privacy checking altogether (I'm assuming this is appropriate as you've already tried setting to Public).

      BA_Pete Thank you for this as it did resolve that error. My power query was able to apply without error. Thank you. 

  • Sounds like you need to make a fourth query, and use that to append your tables; you can probably even just use "Append as new query".
