You can't do it that way. The query is worked out before any formula columns.
You would need to pass the table name in as a parameter. And even then you would need to set a default value on that parameter so that the report can validate the query. Report Builder Help tells you these things if you bother to read it:

Report Builder help topic: About lexical references
Before you create your query, define a column or parameter in the data model for each lexical reference in the query. For columns, you must set the Value if Null property, and, for parameters, you must set the Initial Value property. Reports Builder uses these values to validate a query with a lexical reference

Your example would never work though, those tables have different columns. You would have to have two seperate reports.

else if :P_source_type_id = 6 then return(',MTL_GENERIC_DISPOSITIONS mdsp');
else if :P_source_type_id = 5 then
if :C_source_where is null then
return NULL;
else
return(',WIP_ENTITIES wip');
end if;
else if :P_source_type_id = 8 then return(',MTL_SALES_ORDERS mkts');
else if :P_source_type_id is null then
return(',MTL_SALES_ORDERS mkts,
MTL_GENERIC_DISPOSITIONS mdsp,
GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS gl ');
else null;

Did you read any part of my post?
I told you you can't use a formula column here.
I quoted the help topic that explains the error.
What do you not understand?

That makes two of us.
I suggest you read the report builder help topic "About lexical references"

I see a lot of very badly formatted code.
I see you don't know how to use ELSIF.
I don't see a q1 query.

I don't know what you expect me to tell you apart from what I already said.
