    Hi

    My problem is solved.

     

    I saved the files to One Drive, and then use the Gateway to refresh (publish) to the Power BI service.

     

    Thanks

Hi , thanks for the info below.  I have now set up the gateway correctly (I think), but BI doesn't like my source.

I am going to try to let the source be One Drive, which data source type should I select?

(Get data from One drive, and use Power BI desktop and gateway)

 

Thank you

Hi vrossouw,

I am not sure that how you connect to the data source from Power BI. If you directly connect to Excel files stored in OneDrive, gateway is not required and you don't need to add data source under gateway. For more details, please review this article:https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-refresh-data/ .

In addition, have you checked the computer that install personal gateway?



Thanks,
