    MatWebb,

     

    Currently Online data sources and Data sources On Premises Gateway can’t work together, the workaround is to take use of Personal gateway to combine on-premises with online data sources.

    Please take a moment to check and vote the Idea below:

    Combine enterprise gateway and online data sources

    Thanks for suggestion this and all your comments. We’ve added this feature to our backlog but can’t share an ETA on when it’ll be delivered for now.
    The current workaround we’ve been suggesting is to use the personal gateway to combine on-prem with online data sources.
    I’ll update the status once this work has started. Meanwhile, keep voting and adding other ideas to improve the gateway.

Ah. Thanks v-micsh-msft - appreciate you finding that for me. That's just the answer i didnt want, but it seems to be pretty terminal.

 

I have stuck 3 votes and a comment on that 'idea'. Im quite shocked that this is 'working as intended' seems a VERY strange limitation of what the essence of this tool is designed to do.

 

I will ahve to sit on the updates and hope i guess.

 

Thanks all for your help!
