Hi Bezos,

 

Actually, we don't need to configure the date gateway as your data source is online. 

 

For online source, it will refresh automatically.

 

However, if you want to set schedule refresh, you should set the data gateway. You could install your gateway in a server always online.

 

Best Regards,

Cherry

v-piga-msft I'm facing a similar issue. Unable to figure out why this is greyed out. I have connected to other data soruces successfully like Google BigQuery and my reports refresh daily. But now I'm using MYSQL query through an ODBC connection and after publishig the report on Power BI serivce, it shows greyed out and I cant seem to refresh.

 

Can you help here? I'm seeking a solution without installing a gateway locally as my system would not be powered on always. And failing to understand why this is only hapening with this data source and not others?
