Advocate IIPersonal Gateway: On-Prem File Refresh and UNC Paths
Hello I have a Power BI model (pbix file) that sources data from a TXT file. When the model is uploaded into Power BI Online, I am able to refresh the data via the Personal Gateway from the TXT ...
For the benefit of other people, I put this question to Microsoft and received the following answer:
"The Personal Gateway does not support network access, so UNC paths are not parsed (even if they refer to the local machine). The Enterprise Gateway may support this functionality in future releases. The current approach is to put required flat files in SharePoint Online or OneDrive"
