    Hi MP_123,

     

    In Power BI Service, there are two kinds of gateway: On-Premises gateway and Personal gateway. And requirements are different based on gateway types, I would suggest you take a look at those two articles:

     

    On-premises data gateway

    Power BI Gateway - Personal

     

    Besides, if we get data from the Azure SQL Data Warehouse and create a report in Power BI Desktop, then publish the report to Power BI Service, we needn't require any gateway to refresh data from Azure SQL Data Warehouse. Fro more information, please take a look at this article: Data refresh in Power BI.

     

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu
