You can try restarting the gateway or reinstalling the latest version of the gateway.

Hi, hope this hleps. 
The "The parameter is incorrect" error when setting up a Data Gateway connection is likely due to configuration issues. To resolve:

1. Check Gateway Status: Ensure the gateway is online and updated to the latest version.
2. Verify Data Source: Match the data source type, credentials, and connection string in both the gateway and Power BI.
3. Network Issues: Ensure no firewalls or network restrictions block gateway connectivity.
4. Permissions: Verify you have the required permissions for the gateway and Power BI.
5. Logs: Review gateway logs (C:\Program Files\On-premises data gateway\logs) for detailed errors.
