NoteSAP Analytics Cloud has the following validation rules for freehand queries:
- Duplicated parameters ($select, $expand, $format, $top, $skip, $inlinecount, $filter) in the query are not allowed.
- Only entity set and function import are supported.
- For function import, entity set is only supported as a return type.
- If $select contains the Nav property but without $expand property, the query is invalid.

Select the appropriate option:
- If creating a new model: In the Draft Data dialog, select the data that you just uploaded.
- If importing to an existing model: In the Draft Sources list, select the data that you just uploaded.
