    The errors say that those three fields uses "InventTransOrigin1" data source, which doesn't exist. Could you please comment on the error? If you agree that this is a wrong datasource name, fix it. If you believe that it's correct, tell us more about it. Didn't you actually added this data source by mistake? Then the data source exists, but it's not connected to other data sources of the view.

    You said you dragged a field, but you didn't say where from. Can you add this information, please?

    Hi Martin ,
    The data entity from which Power BI is making Reports, i first get that and added to my project next, i didn't add any extra or another table as data source anything is same to old Data entity. Just from above data source in Power BI drag 1 field in below fields as shown in the image.

    Best Regards,

    So... do you have any data source called InventTransOrigin1 or not?

    If your intention was using InventTrans data source (as your screenshot suggests), then using InventTransOrigin1 is obviously wrong.
