Thank you for your reply. I have installed the on-premise data gateway on my computer and shared it with another user in my organization who has the Power BI that needs to be refreshed on a schedule. She is connected to this on-premise data gateway because it showed up on her account (because I shared it with her email). If I keep my computer on at all times and she turns her computer off, will the on-premise data gateway work for her and refresh her dashboard? Or does both our computers need to be on at all times?

 

Thank you
