Uploaded Report - Can't Connect Gateway
Uploaded a Power BI Report from the Desktop app to an online workspace. I already have a gateway set up with the data sources this Report is using. When I go into the dataset and try to apply the Gateway, the "Gateway connection" menu loads infinitely:
I cannot set a gateway or make this Report work in the cloud.
The report is DirectQuery, and I am using a Custom Connector. I have read the documentation, and the Gateway is set up to use the Custom Connector. The connector seems to have the code it needs to allow for gateway support.
I found a solution. It is not ideal however.
I was keeping my Reports on OneDrive, and adding them to my Workspace through OneDrive. When I did this, the Dataset would not allow me to connect it to a Gateway.
When I published the Report directly through Power BI Desktop, I was able to connect the Dataset to my Custom Connector in my Gateway.
It is frustrating because this de-links the Report from OneDrive, so updating it locally will no longer result in a OneDrive refresh of the Report.
I hope this can be solved.

Hi there
If that is happening and you have configured the Gateway, I would contact the custom data connector as this appears to have an issue because it is not loading?
Also do you have the latest version of the gateway installed?- GilbertQHa ha, ok cool.
I would suggest looking for some help to make sure the connector works in the Power BI Service.
