Hi @RashmitaR,

 

Azure Analysis Services is a cloud Service, which doesn't need a gateway. The main differences of them are cited from official documents.

  • On-premises data gateway (personal mode) – allows one user to connect to sources, and can’t be shared with others. Can only be used with Power BI.
  • On-premises data gateway – allows multiple users to connect to multiple on-premises data sources, and can be used by Power BI, PowerApps, Flow and Azure Logic apps, all with a single gateway installation.

Please reference: powerbi-gateway-getting-started.

 

Best Regards!
