Problem with the Gateway in Power BI
Dear:
Last week, unexpectedly, they let me run all the automatic updates.
My published reports have two types of data sources: excel files located on my PC and database tables from a server. I have both standard and personal versions of the gateway installed.
Now, in the standard gateway it makes a perfect connection to the database server but fails to connect to the files on my PC and vice versa: the personal mode gateway connects perfectly with the files on my PC but does not connect to the database server.
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Power BI Desktop and already uninstalled and reinstalled the latest versions of the gateway multiple times, cleared cache, restarted the server, etc. and didn't fix the problem.
I understand that it must be a problem with the configuration of the connections but I can't find the solution.
In both cases, whether by testing one way or the other, the returned error is always that you can't establish the connection because of erroneous credentials.
Help please thank you
Thank you all very much.
I've already fixed this by changing the location of the files to OneDrive

a connection from standard gateway worked fine with your local excels before your updates?
What message do you get for this conncetion under connection section in service?
This connection to you PC is online?

Good
It's exactly the same for me.
Have you been able to find a solution?
Thanks a lot

Previously, connections worked perfectly from the personal mode gateway.
Under "assignment" if I select the "Create a connection" option...
I see x default "cloud" as the connection type and the following warning:
Currently, these data streams, Gen2 data streams, and Datamarts do not support these cloud connections. To create personal cloud connections for these experiences, use the Data Flows editor or Datamarts in Get Data.- Syndicate_Admin

At the same time, in the standard mode gateway, "misconfiguration" appears. If I deploy it:
the connection to the DB is OK but not the connection to excel on my PC

... And if I want to "add to gateway"
returns: "Invalid connection credentials" (when on the other gateway it connects perfectly)
