refresh causes error

Hi

I get this error when I refresh my data - both manual and automatic - i did not notice in the desktop since there was no error when refreshing. Any ideas on what to do?

I found the solution myself and eliminated the need for a gateway - and there were two problems:

1) I had two excelfiles updating to my onedrive, which were acutally set not to update but the service saw them as local files and required a gateway. Getting the files through sharepoint instead solved the issue

2) The way the web contents function was setup - it has to be adjusted in accordance with this link

Hi @betterreportsDK ,

According to the error message "Could data source setting is not allowed refresh through gateway", please try to check the optins in your gateway in Power BI Service Portal.
