Hi,
I just started researching Power BI and had a few questions about when data is stored in the cloud
Correct me if I am wrong but I understand that if I import data from excel\csv file into Power BI Desktop and publish it to Power BI Service the data from the file is stored on Azure.
I read on another post that in case of a DirectQuery, which is basically a live connection, no data is stored in the cloud, just some caching. But If I have a on-premise gateway connection and don't want that to be a live connection, then how much of the data from the database is stored in the cloud?
Also if I connect to an excel file that is on our company's sharepoint, would that be considered a live connection? is the data from that file stored in the cloud or just sharepoint?
I am just trying to understand all the cases in which the data will be stored in the cloud.
Thanks in advance
