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.

      jsgrossk From my understanding, if you use a gateway, you need a Pro license. I say this based on the third bullet in this post.

      Hi jsgrossk,

       

      To use gateway, it requires pro account. In your scenario, please check whether the current account is pro or free.

       

       

      If you are free account, then you can go to Settings-> Datasets, click Try Pro for free to make the Gateway Connection option available.

       

       

       

      If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

       

      Best Regards,
      Qiuyun Yu

        I signed up for a pro trial and it shows that in the about (Although it says 1 MB of 10 GB instead of 20). But the manage gateways setting only gives me the option for persional one, the use data gateway is greyed out....
