Suppose i have power bi report with 5 data sources(one is oracle and others are excel).I published it in power bi site.
Now i want to refresh only the oracle one from gateway, so i enter the credentials for oracle.
Now i don't want to refresh the excel ones.So i don't enter the credentials for excels.
So overally i want to refresh only oracle data source and don't want to refresh excel ones. So is this possible.
Every time i m doing this its give me the error.
If you don't add the credentials for all sources it will fail. You can try to disable refresh for the excel queries/data sources.
Right click the Query in query editor -> Properties & then unselect enable Refresh.
Haven't tried how it works in PowerBI service when you upload the file but with a try & error it can work ( upload it again, new import etc )
@sumodjena Can you post what error you are getting? Also have you setup Power BI Personal Gateway for data refresh ?
Also Power BI Personal Gateway should be online when scheduling for refresh.
