Hi All,
I created a Power BI report accessing On - Premises SQL Server Data Base.
I published on PowerBi Services, and everything was ok until I create a schedule refresh. After that I can't see anymore the report`s data. Besides when I click into the data set this error appears:
"This dataset contains on-premises data sources. To schedule data refresh, try Power BI Pro for 60.00 days, or contact your Office 365 tenant administrator to purchase Power BI Pro. Learn more about data sources that currently support refresh."
I Have a free Power BI acount and I`m using a personal Gateway ( Connected and good to go !)
As We Can see in the PowerBi's documentation, I thought it was able to schedule a refresh :
Data Refresh Power BI (free) Power BI Pro
Datasets scheduled to refresh Daily Hourly*

Does Anyone Can Help me?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Please refer to this document. If data from a dataset that connects to on-premises data using the Power BI Gateway - Personal, and for which a scheduled refresh is set, then it's Power BI Pro content. So in your scenario, a pro account is needed.
Best Regards,
Herbert
