Local Gateway and connection - Login error
Hi guys,
I try to build a gateway in my Power BI service.
I use a Power BI Pro license (with an onsitemicrosoft.com account) and it is a local gateway (standard mode). The data sources are a xlxs- and a csv-file and are saved on my local computer. The account for my windows runs under a outlook.com account and not under the onsitemicrosoft.com account.
If I try to connect to the files in the seetings window of a connection (Power BI service), I got alway the message that the login information are invalid.
I already tried all possible option in the authorizations for both data sources in the data source configuration window of Power BI desktop with a corresponding adjustment in the settings for Windows authorization. But nothing worked.
Do you have any idea what the reason for this could be?
Thanks in advance!
Best,

and it is a local gateway (standard mode). The data sources are a xlxs- and a csv-file and are saved on my local computer.Those are incompatible. Either use a personal gateway or (much better) place your source files onto a OneDrive so you don't need a gateway at all.
