How to fetch data from Power BI on premise gateway to Power BI Desktop

‎11-14-2018 12:34 AM

Hello,

I am stuck on this and want to know whether this is possible or not.

 

My client has installed an on premise gateway at there server and then connected to the data source with the help of it ( mysql database). Then they given me access of that gateway for that particular data source. This gateway cluster is showing on my Power BI service account.

 

Now, Is there any way that I can fetch data from that gateway to my Power BI Desktop and create reports from there ?

 

As per my understanding, I was thinking that gateway was required for scheduled refresh purpose after we publish .pbix files on Power BI Service and this requirement is completly opposite. But, I had this new requirement/suggestion from one of mine client's person. So how much feasible is this requirement of fetchinng data from  Power BI Gateway to Power BI Desktop ?

 

Thanks
Shubs

Hi Shubs,

 

I think it's on the way. I can work like below to work around it. Please give it a try.

1. Create a Desktop file to connect to Mysql. This step intends to get the code unless you can write it directly. Please refer to powerquery-m/mysql-database.

2. Copy the code from the Advanced Editor. 

3. Add an entity with [Blank Query] in the Dataflow and paste the code into the editor. 

4. Update the credential.
