On-premise Data Gateway not listed

[Anonymous]

I have a similar problem as described in theis thread:

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/On-premise-Data-Gateway-does-not-work/m...

But I not sure I understand the solution!!?? I have downloaded and installed my on premise data gateway and assigned it to my Power BI. But the gateway is NOT listed. I have the same screen shoot as in the link referred to above. Can this be a security issue? I am using a Office 365 Trial and Microsoft Account, NOT a working account. Could that be the issue. I have tried to install the Gateway from 2 different machines and same result.

TIA

Hi @Anonymous,

In your scenario, please check if data source used in report is supported to use data gateway. Currently, available data source types in data gateway are:

If the data source you connects to is in the list, you can add a data source under the gateway, use the same connection information. Please see: Manage your data source - SQL Server.

If not, please install a personal gateway. For more information, please refer to this article: Gateway connection.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Best Regards,

Can you please explain your solution further? Your posted solution is even more vague as the one in the link you provided.
