Formula.Firewall: Query references other queries, so it may not directly access a data source.

[BekahLoSurdo]

Has anyone ever received the "Formula.Firewall: Query references other queries, so it may not directly access a data source." error while only using queries (no external data sources)? 

Every solution I have found on this error pertains to processing the external data sources through staging queries before merging but I always do that (for shaping reasons) and am getting this error while trying to merge three actual queries:

The first two queries merged without error and the third is definitely not an external data source so where is this coming from? 

Any help would be appreciated!

I was able to fix this by nagivating to:

Data > Get Data > Query Options > Privacy > Ignore the Privacy Levels and potentially improve performance
