Hi surbhi
In Power BI Desktop, connect to Azure Blob Storage using the same credentials.
When you publish the report to the workspace, go to:Settings > Dataset > Gateway Connection
You’ll see a list of configured gateways
Select the VNet Data Gateway that can reach your Blob Storage via private endpoint.
You may need to configure Data Source Mapping:The data source path in Power BI Desktop (e.g., https://myblob.blob.core.windows.net/)
must exactly match the source defined under the gateway.
If needed, go to Manage Gateways > Add Data Source and map the blob source in the VNet Gateway.Hope this helps !!

Hi surbhi
Just checking in on your progress with connecting the semantic model to the VNet Gateway. Were you able to map the Azure Blob Storage source correctly under the gateway settings and align the path used in Power BI Desktop?
Let me know if you’re still running into issues happy to help troubleshoot further if needed!
