Hello,
I run power Bi dashboards on a lot of data, Today i have to download the into CSV and upload into power BI.
I would like to start getting the reports in real time, But we have a closed network were the SQL data source is.

Do i need a special Power BI licence to do this ?
Hope i have made sence, and thanks for any help.

Hi @philip657 ,
If you mean that datasource is stored in internal network, I think this should more related to your network settings. You need to enable proxy on your device network and gateway side to keep network connection.
