PBI Dashboard error in apps - Data source error [Unable to combine data]

Hi Techies,

I am getting an error in PBI service, the dashboard refreshes on my desktop fine and usually takes around 4 minutes to complete. I previously did not have any issues until I parameterized the fact tables I use.

 

Error: Unable to combine data] Section1/abc/Expanded Sheet1 references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source. Please rebuild this data combination.. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface. Table: xyz.

 

Can you please suggest/guide.

Thanks, Bhushan.
