Setting up on-premisis gateway
I ended up re-creating the report after the gatewaye was created and published...then it connected. I still don't understand but it is working now. Thanks everyone
jsgrossk Did you create the data source that you are using in the Desktop file in the Gateway? Settings -> Manage Gateways -> Select gateway -> Add Data Source?
This also needs to match exactly to the data source that you connected to in the Desktop file.
I connect the gateway and it says you need to setup the datasurces in this gateway. I click OK and it closes. Then I search for the gateway to set up the data sources and all I get is the install again...there's no app installed to configure any data sources. Is there an issue running the on premisis gateway on Windows 2012?
jsgrossk The process I describe is done in the Power BI Service. Log in with the account you used for the gateway, and follow the steps to add the data source.
OK, did all that and the connection was successful yet still when I refresh I get "Refresh Failed because this dataset requires a gateway. Please select a gateway from the dataset settings". I can't seem to find where to select the gateway for that particular dataset. Is this something only availabel in Power BI Pro? I do not have a subscription. I only use the free right now.
