Dear BI-Community,
I have created a personal report using Power-BI Desktop. I am using two kinds of data:
- a locally stored Excel file.
- Data from an SQL Server.
Everything worked out very nice, the report looks great. I have uploaded this report in the Microsoft BI Online environment. Now I want this report to update automatically with a specific time setting. For this reason, we have installed an enterprise gateway. Through this Gateway, I can update the SQL data. A connection to the Excel file is not possible.
Now my problem: wenn going into the update options of my dataset, I get The message that my personal gateway is offline. I cannot switch to Enterprise Gateway.
- I have created a test report with SQL data only. This is working perfectly with the enterprise gateway. Updates are scheduled and executed.
- my reports with SQL data and Excel file data is not updating through the enterprise gateway. I assume the reason is that the Excel data cannot be updated yet.
How can I solve this problem? How can I make sure the report is updated and both Excel file data and SQL data are updated?
I have tried putting the Excel file in a Onedrive environment, but I am doing something wrong. I cannot link this file to my report, it is not updated.
Can someone help me with a detailed description, what steps I should follow to get this report update? S and I Disha no information, my company does not allow the gateway to access the local network. I cannot use the gateway to update the Excel file. They are for it has to be done through another solution (Onedrive?).
I hope someone can help me!
Thank you very much, looking forward for solutions.
Kind regards,
Jochem
