    Hi BSLATTER ,

    By my tests, I'm afraid that the gateway can only be used in your default tenant region for Power BI.

    So I think we cannot change the region of the gateway for Power BI.

    Best Regards,

We need to be able to change the region of something - otherwise the entire platform fails.

I install my gateway, I have no option to configure region - it simply jumps to default UK South.

I look in Power Apps Admin Centre, under Manage Environments, and it shows Europe for our environment.


So, the gateway will never be seen!

You will have to open a support ticket and unfortunately you will have to manually migrate your content as everything in Power BI will be deleted - this may also mean any existing Power Apps will be deleted as well. I'm not well versed in the Power Platform admin side outside of Power BI.

    Thank you, luckily now Europe North and Europe seem to be able to read each other, so I was able to change the Gateway region as per screenshot from the guy above. Only then, when I could see the Gateway at last, did the Flow decide to tell me I need a standalone license to use it...!
