cannot auto refresh PBI in computer - personal gateway

Hello,

 

I import data from SQL server. Then I build the dashboard and set the personal gateway in my computer for auto refresh.

But it cannot auto refresh. How to fix it?

Thanks.

Hi  @pang22 

1. Can you refresh your data in Power BI Desktop? 

2. Is your personal gateway up to date?

3. Did you configure your credentials in dataset settings ? 

4. Did you make sure you are connecting to the data source using Import's connection mode and not DQ's connection mode?

We use SQL Server Management Studio to store the data.

Hi @pang22 
It must be store somewhere right on Remote server???

Hi @pang22 
If your SQL server installed on RDP or on cloud then you need to install Standard mode on RDP server.
