Hi RiddhiK
Your filepath is the problem. Whenever you connect to your files you should use the format "\\Server\Test". The path in your screenshot is "C:\Test"
You will likely need to update your PBIX file and the gateway to make use of a network folder that is accessable by both your Gateway and your Power BI Desktop.

Hi Anonymous , thanks for your prompt response. Can you please elaborate, what do you mean by "\\Server\Test"?

I think you need to spicify your path, I am curious why it is local host? Chang "C:" to server name
