On-Premises gateway (personal mode) & Anaysis Services 2008 R2
Hi DavidL,
According to my test and the documents, I'm afraid it is true. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi David,
It seems that you were using Anaysis Services 2008 R2. But according to the official documents, the minimum version of SQL Server is 2012 SP1 CU4. Could you please use On-premise gateway (enterprise version) to do some troubleshooting?
- Servers must be running SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4 or later versions of Analysis Services for the Power BI Desktop SSAS MD connector to work properly.
Best Regards!

hi v-jiascu-msft Thanks for the response.
Your link talks about Power BI desktop, where we have never had problems.
The Enterprise gateway has never supported SSAS 2008 R2, which is why we are using the Personal Gateway, where is it supported (in import mode, not direct query)
I tried as you suggested, to connect using On-premise gateway (enterprise version) , as expected it does not work
"The gateway does not support the version of the specified data source. Please make sure to check the list of supported data sources, install the latest version of the gateway or upgrade your data source to a newer version"
It may be as simple as "Not supported" anymore , but I'll I'm disapponted that functionality can be removed so quickly.
