Hello,
Is it possible for a Power BI dataset to refresh data sources from multiple gateways?
In my client's company, there are several branches.
each has its own SQL server and database, but all with the same scheme.
successfully, we have built a power bi reports for each branch individually,
branches managers can't and shouldn't see other branches data due to security reasons
Now the headquarter want to have a 'master report' contains all branches at one glance.
the problem is that Power BI service only supports a dataset to use one gateway.
any workarounds known for this?
thanks
You cannot distribute dataset refreshes across gateways. But you can have a master dataset with all the data (and refresh it via a gateway) and then have separate workspaces for your different teams that access the master dataset (as a shared dataset live connection) and then apply the team specific security filters and/or RLS.
That way your data refreshes only once, you have control over the data model, and your teams can run their own versions of the report, all using the same mythical "single version of the truth".
