Gateway not allowing retrieve more then 1000 records via REST API or connect via 32bit ADODB

Hi,NickKindt 

Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:

1.First of all, you're right, but unfortunately the Power BI gateway only supports 64-bit drivers, which means you won't be able to use the 32-bit ADODB provider directly with the gateway.

Here is a screenshot of the official documentation:

2.Second, by implementing pagination, you can bypass the REST API limit of 1000 records per call.

3.Then, if you have an Office 365 account, simply publish the report in your Personal Workspace or Office 365 Group/Workspace (if you have a Professional Edition). Then open the report in the Power BI service (App.powerbi.com), a process that doesn't require the use of a gateway. However, automatic data refresh is not supported by this method. You'll need to manually refresh and republish the report.

4.Regarding what you mentioned, running Power BI Report Server on-premises and using "Power BI Desktop for Power BI Report Server" we think might be a viable solution, and this setup allows you to manage and distribute reports locally, which may be more in line with your current infrastructure.

5.Finally, to decrypt historical data with minimal local server load, you can use SQL Server's function DECRYPTBYKEY.
