how to set a gateway
- 10 years ago
Hi MP_123,
Gateway is used to connect the Data source that hosted locally.
For the Databases in the cloud, a gateway is not required. The only thing that should be done here is to configure the connection, specify the database address and the credentials, check:

If any further help needed, please feel free to post back.

I wrote this blog specifically to address this.

hi, thanks!
i understand that gateway is not required, but you mean to directQuery only right?
how it should be implemented with import data?
i'm using personal gateway and it works fine for now, but if my computer is off, then the refresh won't happen, right?
thanks!
