    Hi marcorusso

     

    From my understanding there currently is a limitation on the On-Premise (Enterprise) gateway, where currently all the data has to come from one source, with that either being all cloud or all on-premise.

     

    If your PBIX has data that is combined from say Cloud or On-Premise (Where the Google Analytics Connector is sources from Get Data, which is considered On-Premise) then your current option is to only use the Personal Gateway.

     

    With that being said the Power BI Team are working on combining the two different sources using the On-Premise Gateway, but as you can see below the first release is scheduled for the end of September with a limitation being that it will not be able to Mash-Up data between the different data sources.

     

    https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/13405644-combine-enterprise-gateway-and-online-data-sources?tracking_code=9a3916fc201e4f6a55318148ccda05f6

     

    So currently what I have been doing with Customers to use the Personal Gateway installed on a server until such time the On-Premise Gateway has the new features.

    Thanks for the link, it's good to know they are already working on enabling the scenario where you have both online and on-premises data sources.
