Error when deleting a DirectQuery - "unable to load a query that produces no tables"

Hi,

I tried to use Get Data --> PowerBI dataset, but ran into issues some issues.

I've decided to remove the tables and try a different apporach to getting the data.

 

But when I try to remove them, the changes won't apply. I get an error:

"Unable to load a query that produces no tables"

How can I get past this error? Currenlty my PBIX file is prompting me to Apply or Discard changes. If I hit Apply, I get the error. If hit Discard, I have tables I don't want.

 

What do you recommend?

 

Thanks, 

Mike

OK, I figured it out: Doh! Delete the source from Data Source Settings, Not by deleting the tables from the Fields pane or the Model View
