If it is older version of Gateway, please upgrade to the new version.
Have you enabled the below Gateway Settings in Power BI Service.

Also remember that you have to interact with a report for the data to be refreshed.
or you have to press the refresh button.
Whilst there is a new feature for the reports to auto refresh if you are using Power BI Pro it only updates every 30 minutes.- 2ccccc7 years agoFrequent Visitor
GilbertQ Does data get update if I click the refresh button on the report? I thought the 'refresh' button on the report only refresh the visualation on the report which doesn't refresh my data. Anyway it works. Thanks for the advise. However when I interact with my report, my data doesn't get updated. Why this? Or which kind of interaction can refresh my data in this case?

HI there
Can you confirm that there is data being updated in the underlying Azure SQL DB?
Also are there any filters on your page or visuals which could be limiting the data from being updated?

venal I am not sure what you are saying. I don't use any gateway because my data is from an Azure SQL database. Why do I need a On-Pre gateway to config my cluster? See this document from MSDN.
