    No on the PBIX file. You published it, so it will refresh in the service. your PBIX file will no longer remain up to date. The service will update the model you published.

     

    As for your computer, it depends. Does your data model require a gateway and if so, did you install it on your PC? Yes to both, then the PC has to stay on for the gateway, if yes to the first and no to the second, or no to both, then you do not need to keep your PC on.
