I could configure it using SIMBA ODBC Driver to BigQuery
Setps:
1- Create a service account for BigQuery, keep the email and JSON file with Keys
2- Install the ODBC driver locally and on the Server that have the Gateway the driver
https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/odbc-jdbc-drivers3- Configure the ODBC connection locally and on the gateway server, just open the ODBC (32 or 64 depending the driver you choosed) and edit putting the email and path to JSON keys:
4- On PowerBI Desktop choose ODBC has source
5 - Choose Google BigQuery data sourse If you want to put a query go to advance options else just continue
6- Build your report and upload it.
7- Go to gateway management portal power bi and add a new data source of ODBC type

Configure like this (choose anynonymous authentication):
And it Works 🙂
alexbjorlig , any progress? I am in a very similar situation here, also using a service account to connect.
nope - I gave up 😢 I don't think this way of connecting is currently supported.
