Helper IDirectQuery, Data Gateway required when used with other sources?
Hi amitchandak & vanessafvg and thx for your feedback. I thought I had replied but it seems I forgot to push the last button... Anyway, problem solved, and shame on me: after several hours skratching my head with this, I finally noticed that a tiny little query was still aiming at a local file (I had simply forgotten to change it to a 'web' connector. Once I truly only remained with web and azure sql connections, then I was no longer asked to use the datagateway...
Thx again to you, and have a great day!

Super UserBenCardineau , data gateway id for power bi service to connect with the database , for which direct connection setup is not available.
I think for Azure SQL, you check the details again for gateway.
Also for one drive schedule refresh it should ask credential there on service
