    I'm afraid schedule refresh is implemented on the whole dataset, not the separated data source. If one of the datasource hasn't been configured correctly(e.g.: gateway), the refresh will fail. You may create two different report based on excel and sql server and refresh them seperately.

Yes, so I would suggest you to create two datasets and configure schedule refresh to the database.
