I have a cloud connection defined but cannot apply. Why??
Hi @preid ,
Typically, a cloud data source does not have to be configured with a gateway, but in the case of a mixed data source, you need to turn on the use of a gateway configuration and create a connection for it.
Connect to cloud data sources in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Hope it helps!
