    Hi rodrigomo，

    On-premises gateway doesn't allow you to combine online data sources and on-premises data sources. This is a known issue that has been submitted in the following link and the feature that using on-premises gateway to work with online data sources is under review, please vote it.

    To work around the issue in your scenario, you can use the personal gateway to schedule refresh for your dataset when combining SharePoint Online data source and on-premises SQL Server data source.


    Thanks,

You don't need to include it as a data source in your On-Premis Gateway. 

Under Gateway Connection, select "Connect directly" then under Data Source Credentials set your sharepoint online credentials using OAuth2 authentication method.

you should be able to refresh or schedule the refresh of your dataset using this configuration.

Hi nobrain01!

This just works for applications that have as data source only Sahrepoint files, ok?

In my case, I have Sharepoint and SQL sources.

Thanks
