Hello Guys!
To test this issue I prepared a really simple Dataset that contains only a small table (CSV) as a Web source (http).
Everything is fine on Power BI Desktop, but the Power BI Service is showing me the following error message if I try to Refresh it:
This is very odd cause I don't have any data gateway set up... and the source is the WEB.
Do you guys need any other info?
Thank you in advance for the help!

Hi @arthurcruz
What the message is telling you is correct.
You need to install the Power BI Personal Gateway in order for your Web Source to refresh. This is a requirement in order for it to refresh.
Without a Gateway either Personal or On-Premise the data will not be able to be refreshed via the Power BI Service.
Here are more details if you wish to look into it: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-refresh-data/#what-can-be-refreshed

Hi @GilbertQ!
Thanks for the link, as I use PowerBI for a very long time I didn't notice rules changing since November 2016 update:
As I've never installed this Gateway I'll do some experimentations tonight 😃
Thank you again for your help.
After a very easy installation of the Gateway on our Server everything is working as expected
