Issue gateway: using windows credentials
This is beacuse you loacal account would not work with Work domain.
Solution 1 - I would suggest to put your files to One Drive or SharePoint Folder and use it from there
Solution 2- you can put it inside organozation system and use organizaion windows account

Thanks for ur reply.
Solution 1.
1.1: so to get things clear
i'm using my work account for power bi.
I need to use the same account (thus my work account) for setting up the gateway. (At least, this is how i've been explained.)
If I then try to connect to local files on my machine, where i use my personal account, the registered work account in the gateway conflicts with my personal account on my machine?.
1.2: Regarding Onedrive
I have the files located on Onedrive for Business (work account).
When I try to connect to them I use the file/folder path (from my local machine) and this takes me to my initial issue; can't connect due to credentials.
Is there a different way to connect to files/folders from OneDrive for Business?
1.3: Sharepoint works, so thnx for the suggestion ๐
solution 2.
indeed would be the most straightforward solution i guess. But no option for me so far as i'm using my personal machine.
regards,
marc
