as mentioned, the gateway was made successfully, and i logged in with the same account of the gateway on pbi service and the gateway is there and the status says "Online",but i can find the add data source to add my sql server database.
Helper Vand also concerning power bi desktop, i got the following error:
Details: "Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
