Sharif_shafiq1 , have you setup a gateway(if needed) on common machine and schedule a refresh on power bi service

thanks for your response, no i havent set up a gateway, how do I do that and why do I need to ?
Sharif_shafiq1 , other than few source where power bi service can directly access the source and refresh, you need gateway

https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/4232/how-to-use-the-power-bi-enterprise-gateway/I have installed a personal gateway however this does not seem to work my colleague can refresh however the report does not update. Can you give step by step instructions please. tx
Hi Sharif_shafiq1 ,
Personal gateway means that you can use it yourself only.
And Personal gateway runs as an application so that it will shut down when you leave
I suggest you to install Enterprise gateway since personal mode has many limitations.
You could refer to Official tutorial for help.
Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
