Data and dashboard Refresh - Direct query and personal gateway

Hi team i need your help.

I created an sql connection (import mode) and a personal gateway for scheduled refresh. Even i scheduled data refresh, I noticed that my team members (just users - premium capacity) are not able to refresh the final dashboard  ( any solution on that?)

 

So i decided to read a lot of posts and i changed it all as i wanted to use the auto page refresher

  • I changed all tables from import mode to direct queries
  • I created store procedure in sql for all tables
  • I updated all the connections between tables ( i hate that "related" dax function is not working between direct query  and  a simple manual imported table - Its an issue for 4 years @PowerBI please solve this !!!!)
  • But unfortunately i noticed that direct query ( requisite for scheduled page refresher) is not working with my personal gateway  (requisite for scheduled data refresher) !

So now i need you to advice me. The data is confidential so even we have premium capacity we prefer to use a personal gateway rather than giving access to the powerbi main account.

I want my team to be able to refresh the dashboard ( feeding form an sql DB) . I have already a power automate licence but i am only able to set up a data refresher and not a dashboard/page refresher. I have to update data and dashboard  every 30 min.

Any detailed solution please?. 

Thank you in advance

Hi, @Anonymous ;

I don't quite understand what you mean. It was successful for you to refresh by yourself, wasn't it? Then your members couldn't refresh, so is there any error information to share? One note: for DQ mode, you must use a local gateway, not a personal gateway; The import pattern can use a personal gateway.
Also confusing, if the data can be refreshed, then the dashboard should change according to the data refresh .
