Hi all!
I'm currently facing a problem while trying to enable the auto-refresh on a PBI dashboard.
My main source is a SQL database, with an .xlsx file on Sharepoint connected via a 'Web' connector, but the "data source credentials" is still greyed out.
It seems that PBI online requires me to add "on-premises gateways" for the sharepoint file as the button cannot be disabled but I don't understand why.
Any help would be massively appreciated with this!

Okay quirky PowerBI Service moment - I refreshed the page a bunch and suddenly I can access it now.
Sorry for anyone looking for a better solution!
