Hi,
I have a question about how to work in the best way with multi-source model (files + SSAS in this case), publishing these models and refreshing the data with the on-premise data gateway.
Right now, I have a pbix model which loads data both from an Excel file on my synced OneDrive for Business folder as Web resource and an SSAS cube (import) in my on-premise SQL Server environment. I have also published the pbix model to Power BI Service. Refreshing the dataset with the personal gateway works fine, but in order to use the on-premise data gateway (since it is greyed out) I realize I have to set up these data sources. I have set up the SSAS data source and solutions only loading data from that works fine, but how do set up a data source for the Excel file in my OneDrive folder, to be used by my multi-source dataset?
I have managed to set up a separate dataset for the Excel file by using "Get Data" and importing the file from OneDrive - Business, but that only gives me access to the file itself in the Power BI Service, but there is no data source for it.
I've tried to set up a data source for the file, using the data source type "Web" as I've done in the pbix file, but that doesn't work, I only get the error message "Invalid connection credentials.".
Or have I gone about this the wrong way? What is the best practice when it comes to setting up data sources for multi-source (local files + db or SSAS) datasets and using the on-premise data gateway? Isn't using OneDrive for the file a good idea? Or am I restricted to using the personal gateway when mixing these kind of sources?
Thankful for any help I can get!
BR, Oscar
