azure storage questions
Hello
I have built a public dashboard that pulled data from a web site and publish energy price for Australia, I am using the gateway as it is required for web site access, now I am thinking of moving the data source for a storage service like azure storage.
I have no experience with azure at all, so sorry for the silly questions
- how hard to use azure data factory to pull data from an url and save it into azure storage
- does azure storage require a gateway
thanks

hi, mim
1. You can use the Azure blob storage connector in Power BI Desktop to connect it For more details, please take a look at the following blog.

sorry, just to be very sure, if my data is on azure blob, do I need a gateway for PowerBI ?
