I created the report in Power BI online, not Desktop.
I don't really understand the gateway thing. I tried downloading and installing it, but then there was no instruction on how to make it work (I don't really understand what the gateway does). I'm also on a work computer so I'm not sure that it's ok to have it on my computer. (The gateway is basically an opening to the outside so Power BI can grab the updates to my Excel file?)
