Post ProdigyDirect query tables & Date Calculated table in model
Hi All,
I have imported 4 direct query tables in pbi desktop and i created one date calculated table. I joined the date table with other direct query tables. My query is how my data refresh should happen if i have 4 direct query tables & one date calcuated table in my model? Now my model is mixed mode, if i want to refresh my dataset in power bi service i need to install the gateway or i dont want to install the gateway why because all of my 4 tables are in direct queyr. Please advice. Thanks.
Hi prakash11440278 ,
When you refresh the dataset in Power BI Service:
1. For the 4 table that imported into Power BI Desktop: Will get the latest data from datasource, then refresh the dataset in Power BI Service
2. For the date calculated table: Will refresh the date according to your calculate logic
Whether or not you need to install a gateway depends on whether or not the Power BI Service can access your data source properly.
If Service couldn't access the data source, now you need to install the gateway.

prakash11440278 , If the direct query is from on-premise database you need a gateway. If that is from cloud database, in this case, it should not ask for a gateway.
Go to dataset setting and check (Power bi service- > workspace -> dataset row -> click on three dots -> setting)
