    hi, Anonymous 

    You need to download the pbix file and then get data from (Excel) in power bi desktop. 

    Then republish the report to power bi service and add a datasource in Manage gateway.

     

    Best Regards,

      I get an error when trying to add the gateway. "We could not register this data source for any gateway instances within this cluster."
