How to enable Gateway Connection using Direct Query for PBI Dataset and Analysis Services (preview)?
Thank you for the tip but we had that box checked. However, it was a great point that led me to the fix.
Not sure if it's like that for everyone, but in our case cloud to cloud (report to source) doesn't work with a gateway connection but only via authentication. So here is the process:
- I mapped the gateway connection for the on-prem file,
- skipped the Optional gateway for the PBI dataset and
- clicked Apply and
- then went to Data Source Credentials,
- clicked Edit credentials and
- authenticated using OAuth2 for the PBI dataset connection.
Then it takes a few minutes and a closing/opening of the browser tab or clicking refresh icon on the report itself to reload the page and display visuals.

You've saved me 😁
Happy to hear I was of help! It's an easy solution but not an obvious one, at least it wasn't to me 😅
