Hi @Ananaqaco ,

The error message you are seeing suggests that you need to install a personal gateway to refresh your dataset in Power BI.You mentioned that you already have an on-premises gateway that is for SQL server. However, it is possible that you need to install a personal gateway for your Visio data source.

Power BI personal gateway is a tool that enables users to refresh their on-premises data in Power BI. It connects to a variety of data sources and allows users to schedule automatic data to refresh in the Power BI service.

Thanks for the answer, I have onpremis gateway for sql server, if I add personal gateway too the dataset won't get which gateway to use, I can't use both gateways for the same dataset.

Hi @Ananaqaco ,

You need to install the personal gateway to refresh the dataset. The personal gateway is for Power BI only and can be used as an individual without any administrator configuration. You can install up to two On-premises data gateways on the same computer, one running in each mode (personal and standard)

A gateway must be installed and running for Power BI to connect to on-premises data sources and refresh the dataset.
