Hi mellolu ,
Thanks tayloramy for the detailed steps.
Just to add the very first thing to do is check the Refresh History (Dataset → Settings → Refresh History). Troubleshoot refresh scenarios - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
The exact error text there will tell us the real cause, otherwise we’re only guessing.
From experience, the most common solutions are.
- Re-enter your data source credentials these often expire or reset without notice. Add or remove a gateway data source - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
- Use UNC paths (\\server\share\file) instead of mapped drives (X:\) if your report uses local/network files.
- Verify your gateway mapping in the Service matches exactly what you used in Desktop (server name, alias, IP, database, file path, etc.). Even a small mismatch can cause refresh failures. On-premises data gateway - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
If you can share the refresh history error message here, we’ll be able to point you to the exact fix.
Regards,
Akhil.

Hi. Thank you for your support. As you can see, it's an intermittent error. I've already reconnected all the connections, and the gateway is online and running the latest version.
