multiple data sources on multiple PCs or computers
Hello all,
Is it possible to have multiple data source on different computers ? If yes how to connect them through gateway ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi kooroshpashaei Personal Gateway is not what you need here. You'll need the On Premise Data Gateway.

Yes you can, although i'd recommend these be servers rather than computers as computers are more likely to get turned off.
When you set up your gateway, in your Power BI service online, you set up each data source in there. Inside your Power BI file on your desktop, as long as each datasource has the exact same 'location', the data gateway will happily take over.
A note of caution, since these locations need to be the same, instead of "C:\Folder\File.xlsx", use the path that an external computer would use, such as "\\Computer\Folder\File.xlsx"
Naturally you'll need to make sure these are shared and your gateway has access.
Hi Ross, Many thanks for your reply. Please let me try and check it.
Best regards
Hi Ross, The main problem is I cannot access to Power BI GatewayPersonal setting so that I can change the path of data source. How we can change it ? For instance how we can change path from C:\DAT207x to own location. ?
