Helper IIGateway Data Source - where is data actually stored?
we are using the enterprise power bi gateway.
I know that when we schedule or manully refresh data it goes up thru the gateway and validates the user. My understanding is that at no point does actaul data leave my building.
So where does it store the data after a refesh?

Are you using live connection or you selected "import" when you created your reports? If it is import, data resides in powerbi and to check where it is stored,
goto app.powerbi.com
click ? on top right hand corner
select about powerbi and in the dialog box it will show where data will be stored.
Again, it all goes back to how you are connecting to your data source, (live connection or Import).
krypto6969We don't have any cloud power bi that we purchased. So if I selected direct query then my data has left the building? I thought the M S gateway says that my data will not leave my building...- parry2k
if you haven't published your reports then ofcourse data never left your premise. Just to confirm, you are using powerbi desktop, connecting using direct query (seems like you are using ssas) and never published a report, if that is the case, i don't think it ever left your premise.
