    Hi pennyhoho117,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Froum Community.

     

    I understand that you are experiencing an issue where your Power BI report (PBIX) containing a Python script runs locally but fails in Power BI Service due to a gateway configuration error. Additionally, you are inquiring whether Power Automate Cloud can execute a Python script stored on an on-premises server via the on-premises data gateway. 

    Allow me to address both of your concerns: 

    1. Power BI Desktop supports Python scripts. However, when published to Power BI Service, Python scripts need a Personal Gateway instead of an on-premises data gateway. The on-premises data gateway does not support Python execution in Power BI Service, which is why you are encountering a gateway-related error.   
    2. Power Automate is unable to directly run a Python script via the on-premises data gateway. 
    • Utilize Power Automate Desktop to execute Python scripts on a local machine.
    • Power Automate Cloud is unable to run Python scripts directly through the on-premises gateway. Instead, consider using Azure Functions or triggering the script indirectly. Power Automate Desktop can execute local Python scripts.
