Not possible to refresh data from OneDrive on PowerBI Service anymore?

[whatever610]

There used to be a possibility to refresh a semantic model (used to be called a DATASET, right?) stored on OneDrive direclty in the BI Service without installing Gateway and dealing with all this headache.

If I understand well, BI Service went backwards and this option is no longer available? Now to have a scheduled refresh for a file stored on OneDrive I need to install Power BI Desktop => Publish it => Install Power BI Gateway => Set scheduled refresh.

Is that correct?

Hi @whatever610 

This is still possible here are the details on how to do it. Refresh a semantic model from OneDrive or SharePoint Online - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

I have read it, but it explains how to do it by using POWER BI DESKTOP first and store the file on the OneDrive.

Or I misunderstood it? 

I am seriously confused already..
