Hi crispybits77 


Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

  1. Verify Gateway Configuration:

    • Ensure that the gateway is properly configured and running on the server.
    • Check that the data source is correctly added to the gateway and that the credentials are up-to-date.

  2. Update Data Source Settings:

    • In Power BI Service, go to the dataset settings.
    • Under "Gateway connection," ensure that the correct gateway is selected.
    • Under "Data source credentials," re-enter the credentials for the data source.

  3. Rebind the Dataset:

    • Sometimes, rebinding the dataset to the new data source can help. You can do this by going to the dataset settings and selecting the new data source.

  4. Check File Paths:

    • Ensure that the file paths in the Power BI Desktop file match the paths on the server. Sometimes, discrepancies in file paths can cause issues.

  5. Refresh the Dataset:

    • After making these changes, try refreshing the dataset in Power BI Service to see if it picks up the new data source.

  6. Clear Browser Cache:

    • Occasionally, browser cache can cause issues with updates. Try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser to see if the changes reflect.
