Super UserHi there, that should work.
Have you tried to modify the source path and remove the "\" once it has been uploaded to the Power BI Service and see if that works?
You could possibly create a parameter for your source, so that you can change it in the Power BI Service once it has been uploaded.

Advocate IThanks for the parameters idea, I tried it on several of the data sources in the report but the result is still the same in the service.
- GilbertQThat is really unusual as I would expect it to work.
What if you had to create a mapped drive on your Gateway Server, which could then use the UNC path?- Eric
Thanks for the idea Gilbert but we tried that too and it didn't work either.
We have 31 data files in that directory and the only way we can connect the dataset to the gateway is if we add each individual file as a data source. We cannot simply reference the Folder, it won't work. Very strange since it works in other datasets but it will not work in this one and the other datasets share many of the same queries.
- GilbertQHi there
Are all the files in one folder?
If so, what if you had to use the Folder Option instead of the 31 individual files?
