Hello,
I'm making template apps so that I can deliver to clients outside of my organization and it doesn't seem to work with SQL. It works with Azure. Is there any way around this or do the reports have to be pointed to azure? thanks!
Hi @CharlotteB ,
According to the error message, your data source is not supported. Refer this documentation, only supported data sources for cloud scheduled data refresh are supported.
Please change your data source to a data source that the template app supports.
