Can't refresh a Data Set from Excel file
In your Excel file, are the Power Queries writing to the data model, just back to an Excel table or both?
From your error message, It looks like you are using PQ to only write back to Excel. If you click on the "Load To" option on your Power Query, can you also "Add it to Data Model"?
Then re-save the file, and see if you can refresh it from PowerBI.com
You will be able to refresh it but those who don't have Pro account will lose ability to see it the minute you set up scheduled refresh
Bad, can't update local files with free account.
I've just signed up for a Pro account (60 days free trial) - didn't help either.

Braney,
Thank you, you were right! It works now.
One more thing to confirm: do I have to be a Power BI Pro user to use this auto-update feature through Gateway?
