Hi All,

 

I have create the dataset but when dataset want to refresh always need the local computer which hold the gateway must online. I check the dataset in PowerBi Desktop, all the data source needed for that dataset is on cloud.

 

So i have question are:

Q1: If I remove the dataset, can be auto refresh without gateway since all data on cloud? 

Q2: And how to remove the existing gateway from dataset.

 

Thank in advance

    What, specifically, are the data sources? If you are using some custom ODBC connector to a FoxPro database, for example, it doesn't matter that the FoxPro database is sitting in Azure, for example, you would still need the gateway.

      Hi Greg,

       

      Thanks you for ur comment. Yes I used MySql connector to AWS server so still need to have gateway ? The next question is can we put gateway into azure? or we must create virtual machine in azure just for PowerBI gateway?

       

      Thanks
