Refresh dataset not working - only online data sources, still asks for gateway

[TBenders]

Hi,

I'm having trouble refreshing my datasets after Publishing to PowerBI online. My dataset only uses online datasources, which consists of uploaded .csv documents connected as 'Web', and 'Google Analytics'. The dataset shouldn't require a gateway... I've never had this issue in the past and am not using on-premise data. I've doublechecked the official documentation regarding "Do I need a gateway?", and i shouldnt. 

I cannot refresh and keep getting this error: 

"We couldn't refresh because your data gateway (Power BI – personal) is offline. Make sure your computer is on and the gateway is up and running." 

Does anyone know why refreshes are failing or what I could be missing?

Kind regards,

Tom Benders

Please keep an eye on the post provided by Eno1978. You can try to use the gateway now.

Best Regards,

Was this working before and now is not? If that is the case, report it as an Issue.

@Greg_Deckler@TBenders Appears that this is a breaking change for any new datatset using Web. (hopefully temporary)

Thanks a lot for sharing this!

I spent hours trying to figure out what caused this to stop working. Would have been nice if they atleast explained or linked to this post in the error message... Let's hope they remove this restriction soon!
