Hi @INJAMOV ,

 

The Formula.Firewall error is the result of Power Query’s Data Privacy Firewall (aka the Firewall).

Please check the official document

Behind the scenes of the Data Privacy Firewall - Power Query | Microsoft Docs

The document explains the reason and an example of the solution process.

 

Best Regards,

There are lots of resources available that teach you how to work with the formula firewall.  Put your offending code in the same partition as the other source.
