Gateway question

If my Power BI desktop report is connected to a data source within an on-premises gateway, and the data is scheduled to refresh nightly, will my desktop .pbix report load the refreshed data each morning when I open it, or will I need to click refresh each time I open the .pbix report?

Hi @bchager6 ,

 

the task of the Power BI Gateway is to provide secure transfer between an on-prem source and Power BI Service. Only reports/datasets in Power BI Service can be scheduled to refresh.

 

Your Power BI Desktop file will have to be manually refreshed, unless you are using direct query mode.

 

Cheers,
Sturla

Thanks, @sturlaws . Is it accurate to say that once I publish a desktop report to a Workspace, that it becomes a part of the PBI service?

Yes
