    Hi Alirezam,

    If you are work with the report with mixed data sources, I'd like to suggest you refer to the following link to use the gateway to handle cloudy data sources.

    Merge or append on-premises and cloud data sources

      Hi

      Do you mean I have to set up an on-premise gateway on my PC for the 'MS Exchange' separately? Then how to remove it from the list of Gateway connections in the Service? there is no option I can remove it from there unless I remove it from the Desktop.

      Just can you please tell me if the email address I setup should be the same username I use as PowerBI account?

        Hi Alirezam,

        If you only use the cloud data sources in your report, you not need to set up a gateway to handle refresh. They should be required if your report contains on-premises type Datasource or mixed two type of data sources.

        Data refresh in Power BI 

        Your data source credentials should as the same as you used on power bi desktop or refresh operation not triggered due to data credentials not matched.

        Regards,
