Power BI Data Refresh (Via Gateway) for Shared Folders On Network Drive

‎05-21-2020 09:09 AM

Hi,

I designed a Report in PBI with the source data (excel) residing in my shared folder on my network. It works perfectly when it was designed and published, but throws an error when I wanted to create scheduled refresh via the Gateway. My Power BI Desktop is installed on my server (runs 24/7), my Gateway is installed on the same server and my network drives are connected to this server. All my other scheduled refresh setups (Oracle, Sharepoint, Local Folder) work like a charm. Can someone point out what is missing? or furnsih any insight to this issue?

Thank you.

@Pilot3010 check this post, I would recommend using one drive for business for excel file then you don't need a gateway
