    Hi  Anonymous .

     

    If you directly connect files which are hosted in sharepoint, no gateway is needed.But if you first connect sharepoint online in desktop then publish to Service, the data source will be converted as a local one,then you need to configure a gateway.

A gateway is only needed if you are accessing on-premises data, usually. So, I'm not seeing a need for the gateway at all in your example.

 

For connecting to anything in SharePoint Online, you can connect directly, no gateway needed.  I have some videos at https://getstartedwithpowerbi.com that show these interactions. Scroll to the bottom to see the list.

 

Hope this helps,
