Gateway for Web data source?
OK I have found the problem.
This query produces the issues:
When I use:
= Web.BrowserContents("https://www.sozialministerium.at/Informationen-zum-Coronavirus/Neuartiges-Coronavirus-(2019-nCov).html")
It requires the gateway and I cannot refresh it unless I have it installed.
As soon as I change it to:
=Web.Contents("https://www.sozialministerium.at/Informationen-zum-Coronavirus/Neuartiges-Coronavirus-(2019-nCov).html")
It allows me to refresh from the service and the gateway is turned off - I do not need a gateway now
Very strange! But it appears that Web.BrowserContents functions like Web.Page
Yes everything is working on my local machine.
For some reason, Power BI still thinks I need a gateway, I saw some other posts where people tried to disassociate a report with an on-prem gateway and also ran into issues.
It seems impossible to deactivate the gateway in the Power BI Service, even though I am only using online data sources at this time.
I should not need a gateway now...
For some web connectors gateway is required, Try to configure it properly and see if it is working or not.
Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
