Updates to the Web connector
I have the impression that this seems to be resolved ? My report seems to work now without datagateway...although not 100% sure because in the mean time the report has evolved and no longer sure we use the same web connections as before ...
Would be good that MS can confirm that changes have been done to improve...
Hi kurtdn
Thanks for the feedback. In this case Web.Page() is still driving the requirement for the Gateway (see the error below). The data source I've created is extremely basic in nature. Equivalent to pulling a table off of Wikipedia.
Kind regards,
Mike

Looks like there is a new feature surrounding getting data from a webpage:

So From Web is getting some attention. Hopefully this attention will also include the ability to refresh in the Power BI Service in the near future.

I really hope so. This has been left as a known issue for so long with no updates.
