Is Gateway Needed when I am loading Data from Jira API & Local Excel File

[KR300]

Hi Community, Good Morning/Good Evening,

Current Scenarion: I am axtracting data from Jira API & local Excel.

Question 1: Is it necessary to have a gateway installation to Power BI Report which is having Schedule refresh for every one hour on dialy basis.

Question 2: Is it enough to download the Gateway instally from Power BI service and Apply to my report. Or Do i need to install a separate Gateway ( External Gateway or Personal Gateway )

Hi. This is not an issue about Jira. If you connect just to Jira API, you shouldn't need a gateway at all. However, the local excels demand the onpremise data gateway. You could upload those excels to a Sharepoint. That way all your sources would be cloud and you could refresh without the gateway just configuring the credentials at Power Bi Service.

I hope that helps,
