    Hi gheesalias,

    Yes you are right. Data is stored at the Server side when using live connection, not in Power BI service.

    For the import option, we need to schedule refresh in order to keep the data up-to-date.

    Check the article below for more information regarding Data refresh:

    If you have any further questions, please post back.

Thanks v-micsh-msft for your points, just 1 more quick question.

Your point "When you use the gateway, your data remains on-premises.  The reports you create based on that data are saved in the Power BI service. ", what does this mean? If I have a live connection to SSAS Connection using Gateway, it is not stored in Power BI service, right? The data is stored in power BI service only if I use Import Query and in this particular situation, I can use Gateway to refresh the datasets at intervals, could you please correct me if I am wrong here?
