Service Gateway Updates Fails while working in Desktop (Service settings are ok)
Hello,
I've created a custom function that retrieves dynamically queries values from a sharepoint excel file and execute in Oracle DB creating a custom column in power query, which works fine in desktop. The problem is that even if the gateway is setup correctly, the updating job goes in error:
Errore

I've ben trying to map excel data source both on cloud and on premise-gateway obtaining same result.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

For file sources on Sharepoint use "SharePoin Folder", not "Web".
Scheduled refresh may still fail due to formula firewall restrictions.

Hi mpros
Your custom function works in Power BI Desktop but fails in the Power BI Service due to a gateway issue when accessing the SharePoint Excel file.
Key points:
- Error Cause: The gateway cannot access the SharePoint data source, returning a DataSource.Error.
- Root Problem: Likely related to authentication or incorrect configuration of the data source in the Power BI Service.
- Tried Solutions: Mapping the data source both to cloud and on-premises gateways gave the same error.
- Recommendations:
- Verify that the SharePoint data source credentials in Power BI Service are correctly configured.
- Ensure the gateway is set to support cloud sources like SharePoint.
- If using OAuth authentication, confirm it’s supported and configured properly in the gateway and Power BI Service.
Further troubleshooting might involve testing direct access to the SharePoint file from the gateway machine.

Dear Poojara_D12 ,
Credentials and OAuth2 configured correctly in gateway and cloud; I have so many models running on top of that that gets updated by service job consistently:It only occurs with combination of custom function that queries dynamically on Oracle DB

This issue is usually caused be merging a cloud data source with an on-premise data source. The "solution" is to add a gateway connection for the cloud data source. Yes, crazy. And irreversible too. Try at your own peril.

It appears that the problem derives for privacy level can you confirm?
Power BI prefers "staging" queries which acceess data sources directly, then a separate query to combine them.
It's about privacy levels - combining a direct source connection with another query makes it hard to determine privacy level
