    cfzini,

    Unfortunately, when using DirectQuery mode to connect to SAP BW, we can only use on-premises gateway to refresh the dataset as there is no option for us to enter credential when using personal mode gateway.

    What is the problem when you use the on-premises gateway?

    The IT didn't provide the necessary support for stablishing an on-premisse conection.

    Anyway, I'll use the Import feature which will solve my problem partially, even if the data isn't live.

     

    Another restriction was that my data is stored in SAP BW Cubes, but I have to use different data sources. I thought it would work if I import the cube to another report, but it doesn't.
