Anonymous thank you so much for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, that did not work either.  

 

Here are the steps I just took:

 

1) Create a new PBIX file in PBI Desktop.  Save it as "test.pbix". 

2) Enter some data in this file.  I created a table called "table1" and just put a few rows of data in it.  

3) Log in at https://app.powerbigov.us.

4) Go to Get Data --> Files --> Local File and upload my test.pbix.  This upload was successful.

5) Go back to my PBI Desktop.  Go to Publish --> My Workspace.  

 

At this point the publishing attempts to occur on the powerbi.com and not the powerbigov.us address, and the us address test.pbix file is not updated at all.

 

Thank you for your suggestion.  Any other thoughts?

Hi shanebo3239,

For Step 4, you said that PBIX file is uploaded to powerbigov.us, this step has same effect as that you publish PBIX file from Power BI Desktop.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

    Thank you for the response!  Yes, you are correct, I can publish that way.  Unfortunately, we are using an enterprise gateway that still does not show up under the app.powerbigov.us site. 

     

    So, I used my email address, which only has a Power BI Pro for government license.  I downloaded the gateway.  In installed the enterprise gateway.  And when I sign into the gateway on the server I'm using, it shows up only on https://app.powerbi.com, not https://app.powerbigov.us.

     

    I LOVE PowerBI, but being a government customer and trying to use the service is a nightmare.

        Lydia,

         

        I cant even log into the portal at the link you posted.  It appears to be some sort of internal support portal.
