Hi, Ibrahim_shaik 

As tharunkumarRTK says, you need to install a standard gateway, here are some basic processes and steps:

1.Complete your report in Power BI Desktop. Click in the upper-right corner to sign in to your Power BI Service account. Click File >>Publish>>Publish to Power BI>> select the Power BI workspace you want to publish to>> click select>> wait for the publish to succeed.

2. Install a standard gateway. You can click the link below to go directly to the gateway download page or click the download arrow in the upper right corner of Power BI Service to download the gateway to your computer.

You can click on the link below to learn more about the two modes of the gateway:

To configure the workflow of the gateway, you can click on the second link in the tharunkumarRTK reply.

The basic process for configuring gateway and data source connections in Power BI Service is as follows:

1.In Power BI, click the little gear in the top right corner >> Click Manage connections and gateways:

2. At on premises data gateways page, You can view the gateways installed on the current account and the gateways that are shared with you by other accounts. At connections page, You can see that you have configured the data source connection. You need to click on the one above New to add a new connection. On the right, a link configuration page will pop up.

Select your gateway in the first input box:

Select MySQL for Connection Type, 

And fill in your voucher and other relevant information according to your actual situation. After you have filled in the relevant information, click the Create button below:

3. Go to the workspace where your report is located, find your semantic model and click on the three dots next to it:

Click Settings:

Unfold Gateway and cloud connection and select the connection you just configured:

4. Expand the Refresh tab below to configure a refresh schedule for your semantic model:

In Power BI, there is a limit to the number of times different licenses can be refreshed in a day, and here are some of the official documentation you need to use:
