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
And one more question: is it possible to login through the same account on different devices at the same time? That way (by using a shared account) multiple non-pro users could see the refreshed reports, right?
I have been able to login with the same account on multiple browsers and computers at the same time, however, I don't know if there is a limit when Microsoft will consider this a terms of service violation
