Helper I"Couldn't load the data for this visual" error
The Datasets are subsets of DB built from sources using PowerBi desktop. The desktop has many native connectors therefore no Gateway needed. Once you publish the report to service it is like you deployed the Dataset in a workspace. Now in order for these late Dataset to connect to the source it will need the Gateway. Unless the sources are stored in Cloud services like Snowflake for example Power Bi would need a Gateway installed on Premises or on your PC to be able to connect your reports to the underlined data sources.
Hope this is clear 😉
Community ChampionHi Eric,
Do you have a Gateway installed either on prem or in your PC to allow the connetion between your report and the source!?

All the data is in the Datasets on the Power BI Service Online in the same Tennet - Workspace.

In my case here it's a CSV on SharePoint. The SharePoint is already on the Microsoft Cloud so I can't imagine needing a Gateway for that ?
