Cannot apply gateway changes in PowerBI Service to or modify credentials

Hi Everyone.  

 

I have a phsyical Network drive, that has data connections in my semantic model.  When I publish the report, to my Premium workspace all goes well.  When I go to the semantics settings page it tells me that my Gateway is not configured correctly, and when I try to map the sharedrive and select the gateway I do not have the option to "Apply" the settings. 

I am an admin for the workspace, and have direct connection authorization to the network shared drive.

Because of this, I can not schedule Refreshes for the data.  

 

Please Help!

Hi @JacobMich 

 

What you need to do is to change your network drive mappings to link to your Sharepoint location and then you will be able to create the connections in the Power BI service to your Sharepoint. And if you are using Sharepoint Online you will not even need a gateway to complete this. Change a file source from local computer to SharePoint Online...
