Hi @chawalit,

Could you please post a screenshot of your data sources in Power BI Desktop? You can go to File -> Options and settings ->Data source settings to check data sources for Power BI Desktop.

Please note that when you combine different data sources in a dataset, you would need to add all the data sources under gateway. And for above Excel data source, please ensure that you use same paths to connect to Excel file in Power BI Service and Power BI Desktop.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

Thanks Lydia Zhang, I had to remove my data source file to another location. And after set the file path location in Power BI desktop and re-publish to Power BI Services the Data Gateway can selected for my data gateway connection and everrying work fine.

 

Thanks.
