Hi all,
we have two tables:
- T1, imported from Snowflake
- T2, imported from PBI dataflow A2. Dataflow A2 pulls in turn from another dataflow, B2
I can read T1 and T2 into Power Query, do some changes on them and load them on the model, separately, without problem.
I then do a simple append of both tables on a separate table:
let
Source = Table.Combine( {T1, T2})
in
Source
The preview for the append in PQ works well, no complaints, but when I try to load the new table into the model, I get the error message below. Any idea what the issue might be?
Many thanks
Hi @AlB
Actually, M engine error is usually related to the data source. Please check the advanced editor.
I also find 2 related links, will they help?
Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'M Engine error: ''. '.

Hello - In the dataflows, is the option checked to allow combining data? Do the names of the tables being appended have any special characters (not sure if T1 and T2 are the real names)?
Thanks @jennratten
That option was not checked. It is now but I'm still getting hte same error.
Names of the tables no special characters. Actual names are
t1_
t2_
Have you refreshed the dataflows?
