Hi! I have signed up as Power Bi Pro user, under the trial, but I still cannot get the Power Bi Gateway to work. On my Desktop, it says the gateway is up and running, but when I go to PowerBi.com to set it up, I get a message that there are no gateways available to set up. What is going on??
Hi @gsalas,
This is an expected behavior. After you install Power BI personal gateway and configure the gateway, you are able to sign in data source and schedule refresh for the dataset in the dataset’s Settings screens, you can check the following example. For more details, please review this blog: https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/4170/connect-to-onpremises-data-sources-with-power-bi-persona....
However, if you install on-premises gateway and register it on your machine, you will find the registered gateway in the "Manage Gateways" page.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
