Scheduled Refresh One gateway with different data source

[Juramirez]

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 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.

@Seth_C_Bauer 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.

@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.

@Seth_C_Bauer Thanks for your answer, that's what I was looking for.
