Gateway
- 5 years ago
Hi gwright15
Do you combine queries (e.g. merge/append queries) which are pulled from local and cloud data sources? If so, it will need an on-premises data gateway to deal with the combined queries. Reference: Merge or append on-premises and cloud data sources - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
If you don't combine local and cloud data sources, although it may show red X beside the cloud data source (because you don't add it to the gateway), it is still possible to refresh the dataset correctly. You can have a try.

Hi gwright15,
although this is a pretty old article, it does explain that a gateway is not needed:
Did you use Import or DirectQuery?

Thank you so much. There is a merge which must be stopping it. I'll try and do the merge in the data warehouse rather than BI and see if that resolves. Thank you!
