I think this was simply due to the fact that I had two gateways in parallel, and it wouldn't let me switch from one to the other unless I could match all the sources to gateway sources (including the "PowerBI" one). So I asked a colleague to remove me completely, as admin and user, from the old gateway and all its sources - and then magically I could point my dataflow and datasets to the new one, indeed without having to map the "PowerBI" source. This makes more sense now, as it is a Cloud source.

    I'm still not sure I understood the issue 100%, but at least it's working now 🙂

    Thanks!
