Dataflow Refresh Failed

HI, I have a problem refreshing my First Dataflow on the Power BI Service.

(I have a Premiun per User Licence)

In my Dataflow I have multiple tables from the same data source (SQL Server) and many of them are merged each other or appended.

Even if I can save and close my Dataflow, I can't even refresh it manually.

I've noticed that if I comupute simple trasformations, without using "Merge" or "Append" functions, I can refresh the Dataflows without any problem.

But as soon as I merge two tables, after have closed Power Query Online, I'm not be able to refresh it...

In particular, i get this error message:

 

Error: On-Prem execution not supported for entity '[my data]'  since it refers to another entity.. RootActivityId = '[...]'

 

Can someone help me with this issue, please?!?

Thank you in advance

Luca.

Have you considered using a SQL query , a view, or a materialized view for that part?

Thank you Ibendlin for the advise! 

I would also know why my dataflow can't refresh if I have computed tables in my dataflow..

Is there something that I have to enable in order to solve this problem??

 

Thank you in advance

Luca.

what's the error message?
