can't schedule refresh for the dataset

Hello,

 

I have prepared the dataset in Powerbi. The data comes from SharePoint and holebase(SQL database). I have merged them and then published.

However, can not schedule a refresh.

Could you please assist with this regard?

HI @Anonymous ,

 

You will need a Gateway to refresh data coming from SQL Server.

Check the link that I shared earlier on Data refreshes in Power BI.

Could it be the problem that, the source is marked as "Table"? The reason why it is a table is that the query is the end result of merged tables from different source

Thanks for youre reply.

The error is:

"You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh:"

 

 

 

HI @Anonymous ,

 

What is the source of your data?

There are certain data-sources in Power BI that don't support Schedule refreshes.

Check the following link with the list of data-sources that support Schedule Refresh in Power BI Service:

Hello ,

 

Thanks for your comment.

the sources are "SQL server" and "SharePoint", so it should be okay. For being sure, I have tested to publish them separately and try to refresh the data.

With SharePoint one, it went okay.

However, with SQL server, it gives the following error:

HI @Anonymous ,

 

When you say you cannot schedule refresh for the dataset; what do you mean by this?

Are you getting any error while scheduling refresh? Can you kindly add more details here?
