Datasets are not created when adding data sources to the gateway

Datasets are not created when adding data sources to the gateway in my account. All connections look ok, connection tests are passed, but after adding data source nothing happens, there are no new datasets.

Am I missing something?

Are you referring to adding data sources to the Enterprise Gateway or to the Service?

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

To expand on @Greg_Deckler's question.

 

Adding data to the gateway  makes it available via the 'Get Data' menu item in PBI Service. Datasets are not automatically created in users' workspaces. After adding the data source to the gateway, you'll have to navigate through 'Get Data' menus.

 

I can't add photos to posts for the last few days, but here are some images showing the process to do so.

 

This is by design so all users' workspaces aren't cluttered with every possible dataset, only those that that user chooses to utilize.
