Power BI non pro refresh of data

I seem to remember that schedule a refresh of data or do a refresh on data is part of free solution as long as it is done manually or once every day. But I get this message no matter what I do:

 

This dataset contains on-premises data sources. To schedule data refresh, try Power BI Pro for 60,00 days, or contact your Office 365 tenant administrator to purchase Power BI Pro.

 

What has changed? When I tested this in the begining I always choose 'Get Data' 'Import' (not Direct Query) and I could refresh data manually.

 

Now the error on dataset say:

 

Something went wrong.



There was an error when processing the data in the dataset.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

Hi @Bokazoit,

 

From the error message, it seems that the dataset contains on-premise data source which requires gateway, while both personal gateway and on-premise data gateway are not available for free user. So you need to get pro account to make data refresh. You can see: Data refresh by subscription type.

If you create a report using Pro license features, then viewers are also required to have Pro licenses.

Ok but what about the viewers of the reports, should they also have a pro licens?

Refreshing on-premises data is only included in hte Pro license. So, if you really have on-premises data, you should only be able to do that in Pro (refresh at all). The once a day for Free license is for cloud-based data.

 

What is/are the data source(s) for the your report?

 

It could be a bug introduced in the Service or a bug that was allowing you to refresh the data in the first place that got fixed. Can't be sure until we know where the data is coming from.
