Scheduled daily refresh of a .pbix file connected to an Azure Online Database failed

Hi 

 

 

I had imported data from Azure DB and published to Group and trying to refresh the data and schedule 

 

 

 

It is asking for a gateway to be installed but I think it does not require gateway .

 

 

 

how to troubleshoot this ?

 

Thanks

Mano

Hmm, that is going to depend on how you implemented your DB in Azure. If you are using Azure IaaS (SQL Server running as a virtual server in Azure) then you will need a gateway. If you are using Azure SQL DB (SQL DB "as a service") then you should not need a gateway. If it is not one of those two, let me know.

Do we require install Gateway on the Azure side also 

 

Or Power BI Gateway is required to refresh the data 

 

Please let me know
