Scheduled data refresh for local excel file
MS SQL is installed on other server. What settings should I do in order which is the address of the server and what else is needed as settings in oder to make it works?
I'm not sure what PBIRS exactly is, maybe you mean this Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
Thanks!
Microsoft EmployeeApologies for the abbreviation PBIRS is Power BI Report Server.
The new screenshot you show is SQL Server Reporting Services, I'll assume is a different server from the one you start the question about excel refresh.
The best way to get to the root of your problem is checking the logs in your Power BI Report Server, you will find them in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\LogFiles\ReportingServicesService*.log

Detailed information:
Server 1 : ERP and MS SQL, nothing else connected with PowerBI;
Server 2: Power BI Report Server and On-premises data gateway (personal mode), for which you said that is unnecessary and I will uninstall it.
On Server 2, where is the Power BI Report Server I have made a connection to the SQL server.
Here are all the settings for Power BI Report Server:
1. Account: Network Service
Here is the conncetion to the SQL server:
Power BI is working ok from any computer in the local network. Only the data refreshing is not working. Am I missing something or maybe doing something wrong.
That's all! Thanks in advance!

The configuration seems correct, I would check the logs mentioned before to see the exact error that the server is having when ytou try to create a data refresh schedule, also ensure the SQL Agent is started and running in what your sceenshot shows as Server1
