Is it right that Quick Insights is not available when using Gateway?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @nankerp,
No. As stated from this article:
Quick Insights is not available in Power BI Desktop and does not work with DirectQuery - it only works with data uploaded to Power BI.
Based on my test, the tile/dataset get data from data source use DirectQuery or Live connection(eg: SSAS) will not support Quick Insights feature. This feature requires data imported.
Best Regards,

It also seems that if you refresh data, or have a data refresh configured it does not work either. This almost seems like a bug. I am not using direct query, I am uploading data and then scheduling a full refresh. When I do this Quick insights is not available, even though the data is technically uploaded.
