Issue - Personal Gateway required for Azure database

Hi, why is a personal gateway being requested when accessing a sql database thats in azure. Once connected it also does not allow me to turn off the gateway option.

Status: Investigating

Basically if the report only has Azure SQL database, gateway is not quired to refresh the report since it is a cloud data source, see:

Power BI gateway personal mode to refresh Azure SQL DB data source? is it possible? 

 

For more details about Power BI personal gateway and Azure SQL database, refer the below documents:

  1. Use personal gateways in Power BI 
  2. Securing the connection between Power BI and Azure SQL Database
