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
You do not need to install Personal Gateway if your Excel workbook is on OneDrive. I just tested that - it works. You cannot schedule to refresh data - data will be refreshed for you once per hour.

I have an Excel file in Onedrive and connect the dataset to that file.
But when I overwrite the file; PowerBI sends the error that the file doesn't exist anymore when I refresh manually the dataset.
