At the current state (below), co-workers can't refresh data.
Data is from organization's network URLs, HTML tables.
I assume - PBI Service is trying to connect to organization's URLs but doesn't have credentials. But me, the publisher, and co-workers do have the credentials.
[ Intranet ] --- (data from URL) ---> [ PBI Desktop ] --- (publish) ---> [ PBI Service ] --- (share) ---> Co-workers
What are my solutions in this situation?
1. Publishing report to workspace and taking its dataset over on PC with gateaway (personal mode) installed.
2. ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@jcollier,
As long as you are able to access the data source on the machine that installing gateway, you should be able to refresh dataset successfully in Power BI Service.

@jcollier,
What is the error message do the co-workers get when they refresh data? Do you share the dashboard to co-workers? If so, the co-wokers should get updated data in dashboard once the dataset is refreshed and they don't need to set schedule refresh.

Lydia
@Anonymous thank you for your answer but that's not I was hoping for.
I was asking basically this:
What are my options with on-premise data?
My data (from URL) is behind organization's network. I'm using PBI Service and Desktop.
Maybe I need Embedded or Report Server?
