    paul_morrison79,

    The file path should be same in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service. In other words, if you use P:\**** file path, you should also use P:\**** when adding the file within gateway. Otherwise, the published PBIX file will not detect the configured gateway in Power BI Service.

Hi All 

 

Thanks for the feedback, after some investigating I discovered that the file path needs to be the UNC addressing on both the gateway and within PowerBI. 

To alter the address within PowerBI you need to go into the query editor and alter the address from P:\filepath\ documentname to \\servername\fileserverinstance\documentname

 

Cheers
