    I need to merge in Power Query so I can add additional column in to it.

    Hi nutdiablo ,

    I think this should more related merged datasource, power bi gateway can't recognize the credentials of merged datasource. (mixed on premise and cloud datasource)

    In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you remove merge steps(query editor) and do merge data table on data model side.

        HI nutdiablo ,

        You can consider to use dax formula to create a calculated table with merged table records on dataview side.

        Regards.
