Hi

I am looking to setup a shared report to automatically refresh in the Online Service. Do i need to still setup up a on-premesis gateway if i saving the reports in the cloud?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Services can generally connect to cloud data sources without a gateway. However, you might need a data gateway if your data sources are behind a firewall, require a VPN, or are on virtual networks.

No. You only need gateways for on-prem sources.  If you content is on SharePoint Online, OneDrive, etc., no gateway is needed.  You will need to do an OAuth sign in when you set up Scheduled Refresh.

Depend on the source. Few sources refresh can be scheduled directly from power bi service
