Connect dataset to data source not giving me option to select data source

Hello All,

 

I created a data source from an Excel file in Sharepoint but when I try to connect to the Gateway connection but it doesn't allow me to select a Maps to: It says Add to gateway but I've already created the data source in the gateway. Anyone have a step by step process on step up a data source and connect the dataset to the data source?

 

Thanks!

Thank you for your response. I was able to figure out my issue. The URL in the Power BI desktop file was slightly different than the data source URL. Once I fixed that I was able to connect the dataset to the gateway.
