Scheduled Refresh One gateway with different data source
Hi all!
I have a Gateway installed on a Windows server and it works fine! I have a doubt:
I have 3 Datasource asociated to this gateway so when i refresh Datasource A it consumes one of my eight refresh per day. This means that if I refresh one datasource, my refresh per day in all data sources are affected? I mean refreshing Datasource A affect my refresh per day in Datasource B and Datasource C?

Juramirez If you had 3 datasets that all pointed to the same datasource, you would have 8 refreshes per dataset. So, 24 total refreshes if you looked at it from a data source perspective. But I would encourage you not to think of it that way.
A DataSet gets 8x refreshes per day (for import connection type). It doesn't matter where it is sourcing the data from.

Juramirez Dataset vs. Datasource. You can refresh a dataset (the combined sources of information in Power BI) up to 8x per day. If you have the same data source connected to multiple datasets, there is no restriction.
Anonymous Thanks for your answer. So, if I have my On Demand Gateway which have 3 datasources and I have 3 datasets that are connected to this 3 datasources (one to one), when I refresh one of this datasets doesn't affect the other datasets refreshes (I mean, you have 8x per day to refresh so if you have 3 datasets you have 24x refresh per day (one for each dataset/datasource) or 8x refresh per day (8 times to refresh per Gateway, no matter how many datasets you have). Can't understand this very well.
