This is a common issue that I've helped many developers in our organization resolve when they're trying to connect to a local file on a corporate server.
The error occurs because your Power BI report is looking for a file on Drive Z:. While that mapped drive exists on your personal machine or a specific on-premises server, the On-premises Data Gateway (the service handling the refresh) runs as a background service account. These service accounts operate in "Session 0" and cannot "see" or authenticate against mapped network drives like Z:.
To resolve this, you must change the file path in your Power BI Desktop file from a mapped letter (Z:\) to a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path. This provides a direct network address that the Gateway can resolve.
1. Identify the Server Name
Instead of Z:\, you need the absolute server address:
2. Update and Republish
Once republished, the "Refresh" option will be able to communicate with the Gateway correctly.
Let me know how it goes.
