I installed Power BI Gateway in order to use SQL directly in my Dashboard. I published the report and found that none of my colleagues could view it without a Pro License. I tried everything but can't get rid of the so called "power BI pro content" in my dashboard.
So I uninstalled the gateway software and reinstalled Power BI.
I tested by creating a very basic report with one line chart linking to excel. Even this report can't be viewed by my colleagues because "it contains pro content".
This is driving me nuts. Please can someone help.
thanks

If your content contains following item, it's Power BI Pro content. Other users who want to view it need to be pro or pro trial user.
Data from a dataset that connects to on-premises data using the Power BI Gateway - Personal or the On-premises Data Gateway,
After you publish report (data source is either SQL or local excel file) to Power BI Service, you need the personal gateway to refresh the data. Then the data is belong to pro content.
For details, please refer to https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-power-bi-pro-content-what-is-it/.
