    Hi ulpillai,

     

    The On-premises data gateway acts as a bridge, providing quick and secure data transfer between on-premises data (data that is not in the cloud) and the Power BI.

     

    For your scenario, it seems that your data from SharePoint(O365) should be online data source, so you don't need to configure on-premises data gateway.

     

    Actually, files on OneDrive, or SharePoint Online can be refreshed automatically.

     

    For more details, you could have a reference of this document.

     

    Best Regards,
