Hi @7ballp25 ,

 

For this type of error, my guess is that you are using a data source connected in direct query mode.


If your data source is located locally, the data source should be added to the local gateway so that you can see the data on the report when using direct query. Also if you want to refresh the dataset, you need to add the data source to the gateway regardless of the direct query or import mode of the local data source.

 

For how to deploy the gateway, you can refer to the following related documents.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

would you mind providing some details?  What type of data source is it?  Does that data source require the use of a gateway for service refresh?
