Periodic Data Refresh on PowerBI
I am guessing that by Dynamics Online you are talking about D365. In that case you do not need a Gateway.
Check out this article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn708055.aspx and scroll down to the section that says Use Power BI Desktop to connect directly to your Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) instance.
Also at the very top of this article it specificall states "The Power BI for Office 365 cloud service works with Microsoft Dynamics 365 to provide a self-service analytics solution. Power BI automatically refreshes the Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) data displayed."
with automatically being the most important word in that paragraph.
In the artiocle is reported:
"After you have signed in to Power BI, in the Datasets area click Get Data, under Services click Get, and then select from the following content packs."
Unfortunately no "get Data" is present under Datasets as far as I know
Hi polimoda,
As far as I know, for Online data services, such as Dynamics 365, it is automatically refreshed for you, no gateway is needed.

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online content packs for Power BI allows you to easily access and analyze your data. For more details about how to use this content pack, you can refer to this article. :smileyhappy:
