Post ProdigyEnterprise Gateway: Not possible to use as data source?
I use an Enterprise Gateway to call back to SSAS Tabular on prem.
I was looking at using Desktop to build some reports and I can't seem to work out how to connect to it as my data source?
I can DIRECT connect...but then when I deploy my report what happens then?
Do I deploy the report and then edit the reprot on the web service to repoint the data to my gateway?
Thanks!
You add the data source to the gateway and then point Power BI desktop to the data source and the gateway will use your Power BI login credentials to authenticate you against the data source

Have you already configured your gateway and added the data source to the gateway?
Some good info

OneWithQuestionYes.
The gateway works great for stuff I do in the web service only, but I can't seem how to point the Desktop to use my enterprise gateway when I go to create a new report in Desktop?
I must be missing something obvious.
With Power BI Desktop:
Can you select an existing data gateway as a data source to create a new report?
