Onedrive data refresh failure
Hi burnie21,
You do not need an Enterprise Gateway to connect to your OneDrive file, you should be able to connect to it as any cloud resource.
What other data sources you have in the same PBIX?

Hi dimazaid
I am using the Enterprise Gateway to refresh the connections that are contained within the excel file. The data sources are used in a powerpivot model that connects to an on premise SQL database. The data refreshes just fine when I run the refresh in excel but I get an error when refreshing in power bi.
Thanks

I see. This scenario is still not supported. If possible, can't you connect the SQL datasource to your PBI directly?

Sorry but I thnk it is supported, otherwise this article wouldn't have been published:

Also, as mentioned earlier, I have other excel workbooks, located in a oneDrive, that we are refreshing on a regular basis using Power BI Enterprise Gateway.
